Dignity And Destiny
$41.99Magisterial, up-to-date study of what the Bible really teaches about the image of God
Misunderstandings about what it means for humans to be created in God’s image have wreaked devastation throughout history – for example, slavery in the U.S., genocide in Nazi Germany, and the demeaning of women everywhere.
In Dignity and Destiny John Kilner explores anew what the Bible teaches about humanity being in God’s image. He discusses in detail all the biblical references to the image of God, interacts extensively with other work on the topic, and documents how misunderstandings of it have been so problematic. Locating Christ at the center of what God’s image means, Kilner charts a constructive way forward and reflects on the tremendously liberating impact that a sound understanding of the image of God can have in the world today.
