Adam Then Eve? Gender Roles & the Imago Dei (Image of God Pt. 2)

August 12, 2021 • Season 4 • Episode 112

In part two of our series on the image of God, we explore what it means for Jesus to be the true image of God and our example to follow. We also dip our toes in the gender conversation. Many wouldn’t say that women are lesser images of God than men, but unfortunately, there are theological viewpoints that inadvertently teach this. We finish up by introducing our first view of the imago Dei and discuss how an extreme version of it could allow Christians to passively sit back through the slave trade, the Holocaust, and abortion.
