Being human is a complex and intricate journey! Our bodies, intellects, and emotions are all precious gifts from God, yet we often find ourselves in states of disorder and disarray. How can we become the full bearers of God's image that we were created to be? In response to this profound question, Ros Clarke offers insightful guidance from the Bible. She explores our status as created beings, our purpose in God's world, our nature as body and soul, and the fall away from God. Human delves into questions surrounding identity, sexuality, and gender, offering a thoughtful exploration of these topics. It then turns to Christ's example as the perfect human and considers Jesus' teaching about each of us being loved, valued, and redeemed. This teaching remains foundational for discussions around important issues such as inclusivity, disability, and race. Written with a blend of humor and pastoral concern, Human includes a study guide to aid personal reflection and group discussion. This book will encourage you to consider anew what it means to be a human, helping you navigate the complexities of our existence with wisdom and grace.
