What is the Imago dei really?
I’m sitting on at least one more post about violence but until I get through the rest of my finals and finish up my papers this week I won’t have much time to work on it.
Instead I want your help with something. A few days ago Matt Scott announced the topic of discussion for the month of June over at Open Table Theology. To inaugurate this new experiment in generative conversation we will be discussing the Imago dei.
I’ve already got a few thoughts and a possible direction (or two) that I may take my piece, but I’m gonna cheat a little bit. I’m wondering what your thoughts are. What do you think about the idea of Imago dei? What is the Imago dei? What does it mean to be created in the Image of God and what are the tangible ramifications of such an assertion? In other words, given your idea about what the Imago dei is, how does that change or affect your mode of being in the world?
