This week we continue offering excerpts from the 2026 CCS winter class. In this excerpt from the third class meeting, Todd discusses liturgy and the proper ordering of love. You can view all of the excerpts from the winter class on our YouTube channel.
From the class description:
In an age of increasing dependence and formation by technology, it is perhaps more vital than ever that Christians grapple with the question, “What is a human being?” What does it mean to be human? What does the Bible teach about human nature, flourishing, and purpose? What are the threats to this understanding in our present time, and how should Christians assess these threats and offer a truly Christian response?
The Center for Christian Studies offered a live seven-week class, “Being Human: Human Being in the Image of God,” led by Keith Stanglin, director of CCS, and other guest lecturers, Carl Trueman, Tessa Davidson, Nathan Guy, and Todd Hall. The class examined many of the questions noted above from biblical, theological, philosophical, and sociological perspectives. The goal of the class was to provide participants with resources, greater confidence, and better understanding of what God made us to be and who we are in God’s presence. Participants joined both in person and on zoom, though this initial session was offered only through zoom due to weather. In this first session, Keith presented a Biblical anthropology, drawing from Genesis 1 and other texts.
We'll continue posting excerpts from each class session to our YouTube channel and to our blog over the next several weeks. Be sure to subscribe to our mailing list and keep an eye out for more CCS Live offerings. And consider having CCS to your church for a seminar!
