  • This thesis analyzes the nature or character of the Christian experience. It questions whether a new humanity occurs when one is united with Christ and if so, the character of that new life. This concern grew out of the pastoral and personal experience of the author who sought to understand the church's claim of a new order of human existence when one is in Christ stated in Paul's assertion that 'if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come' (2 Cor 5:17). This 'new creation' manifesting itself in a 'new humanity' is the controlling motif of the thesis. The biblical foundations of this concept are examined in the writings of Paul. Critical and systematic explication is based on the existential categories of Paul Tillich; the eschatological dimensions of hope in Juergen Moltmann; and in the theologies of liberation. Psychologically, Carl Jung's concept of 'individuation' and Abraham Maslow's 'self-actualization' are considered. Being 'in Christ' creates a transformed humanity. The new existence dictates the character of the 'new humanity' now characterized by a new sense of the possible, freedom and responsibility.
