Human
Psychology, sociobiology, neuroscience, cosmology; there is hardly a field of science that has not challenged, redefined, and at times upended some of our core assumptions about what it means to be human.
Week 1: What Does It Mean To Be Fully Human? (Psalm 8)
Humans are unique in the animal kingdom in that we have the ability to be something other than what we're created to be. In this ancient song, David reflects on what it means to be fully human.
Week 2: Immanuel Theology: What God Has Always Wanted
Week 3: Are Humans Unique?
Dr. Michael Murray surveys the Bible and interacts with modern scientific questions to penetrate the question of human uniqueness amongst animals. Does something set us apart? If so, what might it be?
Week 4: In the Image of God (Genesis 1)
You are made in the image of God. What does this ancient phrase tell us about why we exist & how to live well?
Week 5: Bodies, Technology, & Jesus
What does my physical body have to do with my spiritual relationship with Jesus? In this message, we explore embodiment. You have a body, and you are a body.
Week 6: Free Will - The DNA Made Me Do It
Is freewill just an illusion? Do you really make choices or are your choices predetermined by your biology and your environment? Recent discoveries in neuroscience challenge some of our most basic (& cherished) ideas of human morality and autonomy.
