Description
This brief study explores what kind of self-image Christians should have. Anthony A. Hoekema argues that, according to the biblical view, man was created in God's own image and is therefore of great worth.
Hoekema examines how this understanding can be difficult for Christians to accept, especially those burdened with feelings of guilt. He offers concrete answers to these questions and highlights the social dimension of being in Christ.
The result is a positive self-image that is essential to the Christian faith. This book provides guidance on how Christians can learn to see themselves in a better light and how others in the community can support them in this journey.
