Description:
Humans are created in the image of God, yet by choosing to rebel against God we become unfaithful bearers of his image. But Jesus, who is the image of God, restores the divine image in us. At the intersection of theology and culture, these essaysoffer a unified vision of what it means to be truly human and created in the divine image in the world today.
