Piper, who serves as the chancellor of Bethlehem College & Seminary in Minnesota and founder/teacher of DesiringGod.org, sought to differentiate between cremation and donation in a recent blog post.

The theologian wrote that while Christians should avoid the act of cremation after death because it involves a burning of their body, they should not necessarily avoid the prospect of donating their body to science.
