Fearfully and Wonderfully Made - Book Review by Sarah P.



Fearfully and Wonderfully Made by Paul Brand and Philip Yancy

In Paul Brand and Philip Yancy's "Fearfully and Wonderfully Made", the concepts of science and religion are intertwined. Each chapter is devoted to one aspect of the literal body, such as the bones or cells, and then related to the figurative body, which in this case is the "Body of Christ". This novel is an extended metaphor in which our actual organs and cells symbolize Christians worldwide and the connection they share. The book emphasizes unity and loyalty among Christians, and implies that, much as our body consists of different components, the "Body of Christ" must consist of diverse people. For those who have a strong religious background, or simply interested in the connection drawn between Christianity and science, I would definitely recommend this book. Overall, I give this book three out of five stars.
