What does it mean to be human? There are many ways that one might answer that question (biological, sociological, political, etc.), but theological responses have often turned to the affirmation found in Genesis 1 that humans are created in the image of God. But what exactly does that mean? And what does it mean for our relationship with God and each other? In this four-week class, we’ll explore how Christians have interpreted that text over the centuries and how it might inform our faith today.
