Chapter 3 Christian Anthropology and the (W)Holistic Approach ‘For what is sublime in the message [of Jesus Christ] is precisely that the Lord was talking not just about another life, not just about men’s souls, but was addressing the body, the whole man, in his embodied form, with his involvement in history and society; that he promised the kingdom of God to the man who lives bodily with other men in this history.’ Joseph Ratzinger (Benedict XVI), What It Means To Be a Christian, 2006, p. 28 ‘Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy Him forever.’ Answer 1, Westminster Shorter Catechism, 1647
