Abstract
Theological anthropology is a subfield of theology that deals with what humans are and how they are related to God. Cognitive science is a multidisciplinary field that studies information‐processing in different forms, including human minds and brains. Instead of seeing an inherent conflict between these two disciplines, many theologians have sought to engage and adapt the cognitive sciences for theological use. Topics in this engagement include the nature of the image of God, human uniqueness, free will, virtue, character, and moral cognition. Furthermore, there is novel discussion emerging on artificial intelligence, theological anthropology, and the future of the human intellect. This entry introduces the main features of current cognitive science and provides an overview of central issues where cognitive science and theological anthropology meet.
