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." 606 $aTheological anthropology$xChristianity$xHistory of doctrines$yEarly church, ca. 30-600 606 $aTheological anthropology$xChristianity$xHistory of doctrines$yMiddle Ages, 600-1500 606 $aMedieval & Renaissance Studies 606 $aHISTORY / Medieval$2bisacsh 615 0$aTheological anthropology$xChristianity$xHistory of doctrines 615 0$aTheological anthropology$xChristianity$xHistory of doctrines 615 4$aMedieval & Renaissance Studies. 615 7$aHISTORY / Medieval. 676 $a222/.1106 700 $aCohen$b Jeremy, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0674530 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911008419003321 996 $a"Be Fertile and Increase, Fill the Earth and Master It"$94394412 997 $aUNINA
