Eat This Book: Finding Nourishment in the Psalms | Psalm 8 - What are we made for?

Bible Texts: Psalm 8 and Philippians 2:1-11

What are we made for?

Paul looks to Psalm 8 to answer this question, taking on insights from the world of astronomy, the thought of Marilynne Robinson and the movie Barbie along the way. Interrogating the aspirations of the transhumanist movement, he suggests that the psalmist has much to teach us about the meaning of being human.
