The Nature and Destiny of Humankind

Led by Dr. Roy Vice
Back for one more session this Sunday, April 27
11:30am-12:15pm
1st Floor – Chapel
 
This course will explore human nature and the human ‘calling’ (or vocation) drawing on key passages in the Old Testament and the New Testament that hold wisdom on this topic. A central passage for this course comes from Genesis 3, where we read that after suffering a punishment related to eating from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, “God clothed [Adam and Eve] in garments of skin.” (Gen 3:21) Christian tradition, especially in the East, has developed a set of teachings about humanity and our relation to Christ rooted in this short verse. A part of this tradition involves seeing not only characteristics of our bodies, but also the institutions we create and sustain, as parts of the “garments of skin.” The instructor, Mark Ryan, will explain how he came to use this tradition of “garments of skin” for teaching Christian ethics to business students. The class will invite participants to consider their own callings (career and before God) in the light of these ideas.
