Summer Theology School, Imago Dei - Dr Lucy Peppiatt

What does it mean for human beings to be made in the image and likeness of God?

The Bible is clear that human beings are made in the image and likeness of God, but leaves the question of what that means in concrete terms open-ended. In this session we'll first explore some of the ways this has been understood through the ages before considering how the New Testament frames the question of the image of God exclusively through the person of Jesus and what that means for us here and now.
