1. Being God's Image
Why Creation Still Matters
Explores the biblical claim that every person is made as God’s image and unpacks its implications for identity, embodiment, gender, work and rest, community, justice, and creation care. Tracing the theme from Genesis through Jesus and the church within its ancient Near Eastern context, it corrects common misconceptions about idols and representation. The result is accessible, practical guidance for reflecting God’s character in ordinary life while resisting exploitation and dehumanization.
