Summary: Concise, but limited
Comment: Clark's tidy volume on the philosophy of man is great for those interested in one biblical option. Clark asserts that the image of God is what distinguishes man from the rest of creation and that said image consists in man's rationality. Beyond the obvious critique that the severely mentally retarded must have less of the image of God than must other, more intelligent persons and therefore must not be as worthwhile as other humans, Clark fails to account for, or even comment on the existence of, competing views, leaving the casual reader with a philosophical position that will make him wish to become a rigid ascetic, seeing as how his body does not carry the image of God and is therefore about as important as your average gnat. This, of course, also fails to allow for the legitimacy of the study of medicine, a development I certainly would prefer to avoid. On the plus side, Clark has a concise style that doesn't waste the readers' time, and he has wit and humor that keep even the driest of subjects from becoming monotonous.
