Nature of Man (Sys Theo #22)

The Nature of Man is the focus of the 22nd class of Systematic Theology. The question of whether humans consist of one, two, or three constituent parts is considered (body, soul, spirit). The conditional unity of the material and immaterial aspects of humanity is emphasized, with consideration given to its implications. A brief overview of the source of the human soul finishes the class.

Image of God (Sys Theo #21)

Humans as created in the image of God is the subject matter for the 21st installment of the Systematic Theology class. Biblical texts relating to original, fallen, and redeemed humanity are surveyed, as well as those relating to Jesus Christ. Various theological views of the nature of the image of God are considered in addition to a synthesized view. Lastly, historical insights from the Ancient Near East are also considered. The result is a fascinating study on what it means for humans to have been created in the image of God.
