Summary of Nancy Pearcey's Love Thy Body

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The body/person dichotomy is best understood through an example. If a baby is human life from conception but not a person until some later time, then those are two different things. The former has no value, and the latter has value only if we choose to value it.

#2 The assumption behind abortion is personhood theory, which states that the human body has no value until the pre-born child becomes conscious.

#3 The two-story dualism of Christianity is that there are two kinds of substances in reality: body and soul. The body is a part of nature, and people have thought about nature as God’s handiwork for centuries.

#4 The search for the origin of life has been reframed as the search for the origin of biological information. Information implies the existence of a mind, and scientists have found evidence for teleology not only in living things but also in the physical universe.
