Who is right about what it means to be human? The Greeks envisioned
an ideal humanity. Their ethereal sculptures depict a transcendent,
spiritual model. But today many scientists view human beings as
mere machines. And some believe we will be able to make machines
with human-like intelligence in the near future. The biblical view
of humanity is different from both of these. For the writers of
Scripture, to be human is to be in the image of God. Guided by this
view, Ranald Macaulay and Jerram Barrs discuss the nature of
spiritual experience. As the pursuit of true spirituality takes us
away from sinfulness, it moves us closer to what God intended us to
be. When we are truly spiritual, we are fully human. Macauley and
Barrs begin by stressing the centrality of Christ. Then they
distinguish between self and the sinfulness of self, argue for
using our minds in spiritual matters, and illuminate the many ways
God guides us. Their chapter on the family discusses the vexed
issue of authority. And they conclude with a look at the evidence,
judgment, hope, joy and reward of faith. In short, this book, now
back in print due to ongoing demand, presents an integrated model
for what human beings really are.
