Anthropology
What is a human being? Scripture begins with formation and emergence. In Genesis 2:7, the physical element and the God-derived spiritual element are brought together, and the man becomes a living soul-being. Biblical anthropology follows that pattern outward into questions of body, soul, spirit, life, death, identity, and the human condition.
Begin with Genesis 2:7. The biblical account establishes the categories needed to read later passages without importing a model of detachable parts into the text.
