ST215: Systematic Theology — Human Dignity in a Technological and Diverse World

This episode explores the concept of Imago Dei (the image of God) as the essential foundation for human dignity in the face of modern ethical challenges. The text rejects models that base human value on intelligence, social utility, or economic output, arguing instead that worth is a covenantal gift assigned by God and perfectly revealed in the person of Jesus Christ. By applying this Christological lens to contemporary issues, the source addresses six critical areas: disability, racial identity, bioethics, artificial intelligence, vocation, and culture. Ultimately, the work serves as a pastoral guide to resisting technological perfectionism and utilitarianism, advocating for a world that honors the inherent sanctity and diverse embodiment of all human beings.This podcast was created with the assistance of AI tools.
