520	1		_a"Theologian Ian McFarland claims that Christians have mainly misappropriated the "image of God" language for 2,000 years and thereby missed a vital resource for our knowledge of God." "Rather than referring to some germinal divine element in humans, such as reason, McFarland claims that the image of God in us tells us something about God's characteristics and how we know them. It tells us that God, though not identical with us, communicates God's own self to us in creative love. This communication offers precious clues about God's transcendence, immanence, triune life, self-disclosure, incarnation, and intentions for human life."--BOOK JACKET.
