Author Description

This beautifully written, fascinatingly informative book explores the complex piece of creation called the human body, particularly as it offers insights into "one specific community of people that is likened to a body more than thirty times in the New Testament." With knowledge gained from the modern world of science and medicine, Dr. Paul Brand probes deeply into the world of cells, bones, skin, muscles, and nerves to show how the human body so authentically expresses spiritual reality and reveals the perfect aptness of Paul's metaphor, the Body of Christ. - Jacket flap.
