Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What does it really mean to be made in the image of God?For centuries, Christians have repeated the words of Genesis: "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness." Yet behind this familiar verse lies one of the Bible's most profound questions: What is the image of God-and what does it reveal about who we are?In God's Image takes the reader on a journey through Scripture, theology, history and the human experience to reconsider what the Bible means when it describes humanity as the image-bearer of God.Rather than treating the phrase as a simple statement about human intelligence, morality or appearance, this book follows the biblical story from Genesis onward, examining humanity's unique place within creation, the consequences of the Fall, our relationship with God, and the extraordinary significance of Jesus Christ as the perfect image of the invisible God.Along the way, In God's Image explores questions that reach to the heart of Christian faith: - Why did God create humanity in His image?- What was mankind originally intended to be?- Was the image of God damaged-or lost-through sin?- What separates humanity from the rest of creation?- Why does Scripture describe Christ as the image of God?- And what does restoration through Christ ultimately mean for us?Drawing connections across the Old and New Testaments, the book challenges familiar assumptions while remaining centred on Scripture.This is not simply a theological discussion about an ancient phrase in Genesis. It is an exploration of human identity, purpose and destiny.Because if we truly understand what it means to be made in the image of God, we may begin to understand something far greater: who humanity was created to become.
