The Human Being: A Theological Anthropology

|
If you add specialized works on particular anthropological issues like the mind/body debate, free will, sexuality, vocation, and race, theological anthropology becomes one of the hottest topics on the market today. Hans Schwarz continues that trend with The Human Being: A Theological Anthropology, a useful book in many respects, though one with some notable drawbacks as well.

What is Man?

|
The psalmist’s age-old question, “What is man that you are mindful of him?” is now the great question of our age, as technology has given us tremendous power to manipulate the created order. For all its benefits, it has also given sinful, autonomous man the false idea that he can redesign human nature. This is […]

Gender Role or Identity in Christ?

|
In my early 20s, I was very idealistic of what I thought a godly woman should be (much of it was influenced by reading books by Leslie Ludy and Elisabeth Elliot). I tried desperately to mold and shape my personality into what I thought would be attractive to other men. Coming to a Reformed understanding of the nature of justification and sanctification has been such a freeing process.

Eternal Relations in the Trinity: A Brief Summary of the Current Controversy

|
The evangelical Internet is abuzz with discussion about ad intra relations within the Trinity. Bruce Ware and Wayne Grudem have been recognized as presenting forms of Eternal Functional Subordination (EFS) of the Son to the Father in their respective books, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit: Relationships, Roles, and Relevance (Crossway) and Systematic Theology: An Introduction […]

Why Our Bodies Matter

|
What really set Christianity apart in the ancient world was the incarnation—the claim that the Most High God had himself entered into the realm of matter, taking on a physical body. In Gnosticism, the highest deity would have nothing to do with the material world. By contrast, the Christian message is that the transcendent God […]

What Is A Human And Who Is A Person?

|
Every day, the twenty-four hour news cycle chronicles the advance of a secular moral revolution in areas such as sexuality, abortion, homosexuality, and transgenderism. It’s easy to get caught up in the latest controversy, but current events are merely surface effects, like waves on the ocean. The real action happens below the surface, at the […]

A Woman’s Worth

|
“The females were then less esteemed, but not so in Christ; for in Christ Jesus there is neither male nor female” [Matthew Henry’s commentary on Gal. 3:28]. Recently a friend of mine was reading through Leviticus in her daily Bible readings. As she finished the book, she came across the valuations in chapter 27: “Speak […]

The End For Which Humanity Was Created

|
The story of humanity laid out in divine revelation begins in Genesis 1–2 with the creation of Adam and Eve, the first human pair. It shifts in Genesis 3:6 with their partaking of fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which God commanded Adam and Eve not to eat from. In […]

It’s Not Really You at Zoom Church

|
Though the soul animates the body and not the other way around, being embodied is essential to being a human being. A human is body and soul. The soul is not spatially constrained but nevertheless is properly located in the body, though not in any one part. Rather, the soul pervades (or “infuses) the body, […]

Transhumanism, Theurgy, and the Genesis of a Cyberspace Utopia

|
If you have watched an episode of the Japanese anime Ghost in the shell or seen the Netflix sci-fiction Movie Altered Carbon, you may be familiar with the question whether ever-upgrading technologies will eventually bring humanity beyond their current natural limitations. But it is not just sci-fi works that are asking this question. Serious-minded scholars […]
