BIB 100 Immanuel: The Story of God’s Desire to Live with and in Humanity

Only available through the Summer Institute. This course will trace the arc of God’s desire to dwell with humanity. From Eden to the New Jerusalem, we will investigate what it means for God to “dwell” with his chosen people and how his desire to dwell with humanity reveals his love. Important questions will include: what might it mean for God to “dwell” in a human body and amongst human beings? What does it mean for God to appear? What does this mean for the incarnation? What does “divine dwelling” mean for the church today and for the value of human bodies? More broadly, can divine “dwelling” describe the fundamental nature of the biblical story? 1 hour(s).
