Theology of Flesh and Bones: the Human Body in Creation, Redemption, and Eternity

Theology of Flesh and Bones traces the journey of the human body from the dust of Eden to its ultimate transformation in glory. It is not theology reserved for scholars. This book speaks thoughtfully to anyone with questions about the biblical understanding of what it means to be human, how our human bodies are transformed by God, why our bodies are essential to our human existence, and how we can understand the resurrected body. In a world that either idolizes the body or tries to ignore it, this book gently reminds us that our bodies were made with utmost care, even though they are painfully affected by sin. Redeemed and transformed by Christ, our bodies have a marvelous future, more beautiful than we can ever imagine.
