Continuing Education

July 19-21, 2023 at Grace Lutheran, Little Rock

Dr. Scott Stiegemeyer — What Does It Mean to Be Human?

Theological anthropology is a central concern for the church today. The world has a defective understanding of what a human being is, and the evidence is everywhere. This class will examine philosophical, cultural, and theological beliefs and assumptions that underlie and address many problems that pertain to human dignity and ethics. Our anthropology guides how we understand marriage, family, gender, bioethics, and transhumanism. We will look at some of those issues in the light of creation, the incarnation, resurrection and the new creation. God’s Word provides life- giving wisdom on the meaning of human life, which will guide the ministry and mission of Christ’s Body.

***ONLINE REGISTRATION***

Schedule
Class begins the first day at 9:00 a.m. and concludes at noon the final day.
