"I Believe In the Resurrection of the Body"
Exaugural Address of Dr. Doug Blomberg, delivered at the Annual Convocation of the Institute for Christian Studies on May 17, 2019 in St. Joseph Chapel at Regis College, Toronto.
“I believe in the resurrection of the body.” This fundamental tenet of the Christian faith extends beyond belief and into every corner of life. It provides the basis from which we might understand our whole selves, integral in body, heart, mind, and action. In terms of a guiding idea for curriculum development and pedagogy, this conviction calls us to see ourselves and others in primarily relational terms; to value people’s holistic, multivalent relationships and all aspects of who, where, and what they are. Such an approach leads to a view of education--and of the human person--inextricably developed “from the ground up.”
