Jeremy Cohen tracks the text through all the Jewish and Christian sources in which it figures significantly-in law, exegesis, homily, theology, mysticism, philosophy, and even vernacular poetry. In his view, the verse situates man and woman on a cosmic frontier, midway between the angelic and the bestial, charging them with singular responsibilities that bear directly on Jewish and Christian ideas of God's "chosen people."Theological anthropologyChristianityHistory of doctrinesEarly church, ca. 30-600Theological anthropologyChristianityHistory of doctrinesMiddle Ages, 600-1500Medieval & Renaissance StudiesHISTORY / MedievalbisacshTheological anthropologyChristianityHistory of doctrinesTheological anthropologyChristianityHistory of doctrinesMedieval & Renaissance Studies.HISTORY / Medieval.222/.1106Cohen Jeremy, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut674530DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9911008419003321"Be Fertile and Increase, Fill the Earth and Master It"4394412UNINA
