Meet the Early-day Saints Episode 7: Human Nature, with Gaye Strathearn The Wayfare Podcast
-
- Religion & Spirituality
Early Christians were fascinated by the nature of God and God’s relationship to humans. They had stories from the scriptures, but they didn’t have a clear or unified explanation about humanity, human nature, and their exact relationship to God. Dr. Gaye Strathearn takes us through the history of Christian thought in response to the question, what makes humans human? We’re looking at her chapter in the book Ancient Christians: An Introduction for Latter-day Saints, called “Human Nature: Creation and the Fall.”
