Understanding of theological anthropologies of some Christian denominations and knowledge of the effected consequences. Understanding of how these theological anthropologies are grounded in Scripture.

On the one side Christian denominations get more and more closer to each other, on the other side new gaps between them, unknown before, arise in regard of (theological) anthropology. Grounded in the two creation stories of Scripture the beauty of the human being in its twofold appearance as man and woman is presented. On this ground theological anthropologies of some denominations are discussed, their biblical grounding investigated, and presented why they arrive at different results on certain anthropological questions.
