| Title | Are we special? A critique of imago Dei | |
| Creator | Bentley, Wessel | |
| Description | ‘Are we special?’ In response to this question, Christian theology has traditionally sought comfort in the notion that humanity is created in the image of God. In light of modern scientificknowledge, is this self-understanding still feasible? Are there different ways in which imago Dei can be understood? Is it possible for imago Dei to be both grounded in its Christian heritage,while also being helpful in the science and religion conversation? This article criticallyexamines the notion of imago Dei and proposes an interpretation that could be credible andacceptable to both science and Christian anthropology. | |
