Eduard Thurneysen (1888-1974) was a close friend and confidant of Karl Barth, and his theology of being human continues to offer much to the church today. Thurneysen realized that the practice of pastoral care reflects assumptions about what it means to be human, and pastoral practices articulate, embody, and inform theological anthropology. His theology is therefore deeply practical and is recommended for anyone interested in the intersection of theological anthropology with pastoral practice of the church.
