This is such a wonderful book, which is quite ironic considering the same word being a part of the title. He makes many analogies based on his history of working with the human body and being a follower of Christ. The analogies are eerily perfect, which seems to say that the church body is meant to be looked at in accordance with our body so that we can draw conclusions as to how to react in different situations. Lovely book by a lovely man.
每個個體在基督裡的功能都不盡相同，角色也互異，然而卻同屬一個身體、同向一位元首──基督效忠、同樣都是基督的代表。作者班德醫生，以其豐富的醫學閱歷及對基督教真理的認識，透過神的傑作和神的形像二書，闡述人體的奧秘與它在教會真理上的應用。
They explore by human body, a delicate fabric of cells as awesome and mysterious as the galaxies of space. They uncover eternal statements God has made in the very structures of ou r bodies.
Marvel of bearing God's image
Another of Phillip Yancey and Paul Brand's books on the likeness of the human & spiritual bodies.
