Who do humans think they are?! A cacophony of answers in the face of global challenges - like climate change, artificial intelligence, racism, nationalism, terrorism, feminism, abortion, gene therapy, gender constructivism - shows we do not agree.
To a deeply divided, despondent world, the Bible speaks today about the human condition and destiny by pointing us to Jesus Christ, the true human, the image of God.
Ian Payne's conviction is that the most important answer to the question of humanity is God. He expounds a comprehensive selection of Old and New Testament passages and examines a range of issues in being human today.
The book is structured in three parts following the biblical narrative:
Part 1: Created in the image of God
Part 2: Image of God renewed in Christ
Part 3: Issues in being human
This biblical theology shows that hope and meaning for humans are found in remembering and trusting God's gift of life and goal of redemption and restoration. With an integrated study guide, this book is perfect for personal and group study and preachers' application of the passages covered.
Executive Director for Theologians Without Borders and formerly Principal and Head of Theology, South Asia Institute of Advanced Christian Studies (SAIACS), Bangalore, India, where he taught systematic theology for over twenty years. Author of Wouldn’t You Love to Know? (Pickwick).Based in New Zealand.
