Episode 75 - Ancient Perspectives on the Image of God
April 20, 2023 - Host: Dr. Gregory Hall
In this episode we explore how ancient the Near Eastern understanding of the image of God might influence how we think of this concept today. The concept of being made in the image of God has played a significant role in shaping our understanding of human nature, dignity, and purpose. But what did this idea mean in the context of the ancient Near East, where it first emerged? Join us on this journey of discovery as we seek to uncover the origins and significance of the image of God.
