Gordon McConville explores how a biblical view of humanity provides a foundation for Christian reflection on ethics, economics, politics, and church life and practice. The book shows that the Old Testament's view of humanity as "earthed" and "embodied" plays an essential part in a well-rounded Christian theology and spirituality, and applies the theological concept of the "image of God" to all areas of human existence On thinking about being human -- Humanity in the image of God (Imago Dei) -- "Like God" in the Garden of Eden (Gen. 2-3) -- The human "constitution" in the Old Testament -- The situated self -- The Old Testament's transformations and the "spiritual sense" -- Embodiments: place and memory -- The political self -- Male and female -- Work and creativity -- The Old Testament and human formation: the Psalms |
