For two thousand years, Christians have been intrigued by the
somewhat enigmatic "Imago Dei" references in the book of Genesis.
Much theological ink has been spilled mulling over the significance
and meaning of these words: "Let us make humanity in our image,
according to our likeness . . . "
In "The Liberating Image," J. Richard Middleton takes on anew the
challenge of interpreting the "Imago Dei." Reflecting on the
potential of the "Imago Dei" texts for developing an ethics of
power rooted in compassion, he relates its significance to the
Christian community's distinct calling in an increasingly violent
world.
"The Liberating Image" introduces a relevant, scholarly take on an
important Christian doctrine. It will appeal to all Christians
seeking to better understand what it means to be made in God's
image.
