Made in the Image of God

The question of our humanity has never been more pressing or uncertain. As human beings, is our nature simply biological? What is the place of philosophy and theology in determining our self-understanding? Are we dependent on our relationships with one another? Are we creatures created by God? Is our physical death an end of our being? All these questions are discussed in this book, which addresses the question of what it is to be human, made in the image of God. Its twelve essays cover a wide range of perspectives ranging from the Bible to issues in science and gender.
