About this listen
Explore how our encounter with God profoundly shapes our understanding of what it means to be human.
In this must-have course, you will encounter Christian anthropology: the branch of theology that articulates the meaning of human existence in light of Christ's revelation. With expert presenter Sr. Sara Fairbanks as your guide, you will examine the multifaceted Christian perspective on humanity's place in the evolving universe. As you ask the deep questions of ultimate meaning, you will explore our origin, purpose, goal, and future destiny.
In 12 illuminating lectures, you will gain fresh insights into your relationship with God as you delve into different facets of the human experience in historical and cultural contexts. You will explore what science tells us about God's relationship with creation. You will also discover what contemporary theologians say about humanity's place in the unfolding universe and the mystery of human suffering.
Next, you will ponder new developments in the Christian understanding of sin and grace. You will explore how God chooses to draw near to humanity in healing love and forgiveness. As you will discover, human flourishing is realized only in our relationship with God. Finally, you will explore eschatology through an evolutionary lens as the final fulfillment of all creation in communion with the Triune God.
This is more than just a course - it is a chance to deepen your relationship with God as you explore the big questions of the universe.
