I don't understand this sentence: 人々は、愛情と尊敬と、人間を超えた才能を持った人という気持ちを込めて、手塚治虫を「マンガの神様」と呼ぶ


> 人々は、愛情と尊敬と、人間を超えた才能を持った人という気持ちを込めて、手塚治虫を「マンガの神様」と呼ぶ。

So, I have some questions about this sentence:

a) What does the structure nounとnounと mean, and how does it relate to the rest
of the sentence?

b) Why are 超える and 持つ in the past?

c) I don't understand the use of という in this situation.




(a) と can be used for enumeration. Cf. [this
question](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/a/96904/45489). In this case, (an
interpretation is) it combines objects for 込める. That is, を込めて is taking three
objects (1)愛情, (2)尊敬, and (3)人間を超えた才能を持った人という気持ち.

(b) As Eiríkr Útlendi commented, you can think of the た indicating perfect
aspect. Another factor may be that Osamu Tezuka is no longer alive.

If there were a copula,

  * 人間を超えた才能を持った人だった
  * 人間を超える才能を持つ人だった

would both be fine, but here there is no copula and using present tense sounds
odd.

(c) という generally is like _that_ which encapsulates the preceding sentence to
make a clause. Here it makes a noun modifying clause for 気持ち: the feeling that
he was a man with superhuman talents.
