Abstract
This article sets out a Christian theological anthropology for community development.
This critical engagement with traditional and doctrinal forms of Christian theological
anthropology will analyse two contrasting perspectives of theological anthropology
to construct a contemporary community development model that considers the
responsibility of communities for community development. The theological model
of community development considers narrative as an interlocutor of personhood and
community development. This article further investigates conceptual linkages between
personhood and community development through classification or categorisation
of Catholic and Eastern Orthodox views of personhood. I will use the narrative as a
lens to interpret the two perspectives and identify foundations for a triad community
development model of personhood, narrative, and community development.
