Description

The Imago Dei: Humanity Made in the Image of God by Lucy Peppiatt This Companion explores the doctrine of the imago Dei, which posits that human beings are created in the image and likeness of God. A central doctrine in Christian life and practice, it has far-reaching implications for Christian theology and practice. Despite its importance, the details of this claim and its meaning for human beings are left undefined in the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures, leaving room for exploration and ongoing debate. Peppiatt charts the developments of the doctrine through the ages, summarizing each position and perspective up to the modern day. This volume offers a compact but rich overview of the various ways in which the imago Dei has been and is understood, pointing readers to further questions for consideration. By examining the imago Dei, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the Christian faith and its enduring relevance to human existence.
