BIO 114 Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

Only available through the Summer Institute. What does it really mean to be made in His image? How can blood make us clean? Using scripture in combination with lessons from anatomy and physiology and examples from medical practice, students will investigate the relationship between our created bodies and their physical and spiritual functions. We will explore what it means to be made in His image and contemplate our dependence on Him as the very breath of life. We will use our understanding of the interconnectedness of individual cells and organs to better understand our own dependence on God as well as our Christian community. Using lessons from cancer biology, we will see the devastating consequences when just one of our cells operates independently, outside of the laws of the body. Finally, we will explore the scriptural and physiological significance of blood and its ability to bring new life to those who are dead.  1 hour(s).
