Bodies Filled with Light

This exhibition features scriptural references about the body paired with anatomical illustrations from the 30^th American edition of Gray’s Anatomy (Henry Gray, Gray’s Anatomy, ed. Carmine Clemente [Philadelphia: Lea & Febiger, 1985] used by permission) to help visitors better appreciate the miracle of the human body and comprehend its divine origins.

The illustrations and scriptures are arranged in three primary themes, the body of Christ, body structures, and body systems. The illustrations on the systems wall will be rotated to feature the following systems: nervous, muscoskeletal, cardiovascular, upper gastrointestinal, lower gastrointestinal, and special senses. Check back regularly to see the new content.
