Understanding the Traits of Personhood

Goicoechea shows how the three traits of personhood--that all persons are equal in dignity, that each is unique, and that all persons are interpersonal--are rooted in that love which is agape. This love between the three persons of the One God is examined existentially as mother lived it out in her love and personal growth.

Philosophical Examination of Love

It is examined philosophically with Kierkegaard as he explains the logic of reconciling love, which can happen when I love the other, even my enemy, as more important than myself. The logic of reconciling love is then examined in Paul’s seven authentic letters.

Historical Development of Personhood

The history of how humans became seen as persons and how this idea developed in the West is then examined through nine moments of history.
