What is the self, really? Are you just a body with a brain? Or a soul with a purpose?

The Bible says we are made in God's image — not just physical, but spiritual, relational, and purposeful. And science agrees: Identity is more than neurons. Our sense of self is shaped by relationships, meaning, and even the longing for transcendence.
Jesus put it this way: “What good is it to gain the whole world, yet forfeit your soul?” (Matt. 16:26)You are more than what you own or achieve — you are someone created for wholeness and connection.

If humans are created in the image of God, how do we understand disability?

The Bible is clear: “God created humankind in His own image” (Genesis 1:27) — and that includes people of all abilities. Disability doesn't diminish the divine image — it challenges us to expand our understanding of beauty, strength, and wholeness. Modern neuroscience and disability studies show that what society often labels as “deficit” can actually reveal deep insight, resilience, and spiritual strength.

And the Bible affirms this: God's power is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). Disability isn’t a mistake. It’s part of the human story — and of God's inclusive design.
If you want to explore the theology of disability, human dignity, and what it truly means to bear the image of God — join our online MA in Theology and Religion. Let’s reimagine theology through the lens of compassion, complexity, and community. mcisr.org/ma

What does it really mean to be made in the “image of God”? Is it just a spiritual phrase — or can science help us understand it too?

The Bible teaches us that every human reflects God’s unique nature — dignity, creativity, morality, and the ability to relate. Modern neuroscience reveals how our brains enable self-awareness, empathy, and moral decision-making — capacities that mirror God’s relational love. Genetics shows our amazing uniqueness and design, affirming we are fearfully and wonderfully made.

Together, faith and science deepen our understanding of what it means to be truly human.If you’re curious about how theology dialogues with science and want to explore these big questions in depth, our online MA in Theology and Religion offers a thoughtful, interdisciplinary journey.

Can the human body — with all its beauty, complexity, and precision — point us to a Creator?

The Bible says we are “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14).

Modern science agrees: your body is an intricate system of design — from the 3 billion-letter code in your DNA to the stunning processing power of your brain.Some scientists describe it as “irreducible complexity” — a level of order that seems to defy randomness. Could this be a divine fingerprint?

Is the universe random… or designed?
From the vast galaxies to the code of DNA, the question echoes through science and Scripture alike. 📖 The Bible says creation speaks — “The heavens declare the glory of God.” (Psalm 19:1) 🧬 Scientists point to breathtaking precision in the laws of nature — from gravity to genetics.

This isn’t chaos. This looks like design. Maybe even… purpose. Theology meets science in profound ways — and both ask: Is this all by chance, or is there a Creator behind it all?

If God is real… why doesn’t He just show up?
No thunder. No skywriting. No divine livestream. Why? 📖 Even in the Bible, people asked the same question: “Truly, you are a God who hides Himself.” (Isaiah 45:15) But maybe… He’s not hiding to stay distant — He’s inviting us into something deeper.

🔍 Science shows we often miss what we’re not looking for.🧠 God may not overwhelm us with power — but gently nudge us through relationships, beauty, longing, and love. The question isn’t just Where is God? But Are we open to how He reveals Himself?
