This – from Sola Media – the second issue of the Theo Global Journal, is a large (430 pages) collection of essays from theologians around the world tackling the question of what it means to be human under the overall title of: ‘The Crown of Creation: Humanity, the Image of God, and the Fall.’
Here’s some blurb:
‘A female scholar from Palestine considers what it means to bear God’s image as women in the Middle East. A scholar from Kenya considers what it means to be human, comparing and contrasting Scripture with an African worldview. A scholar in Uganda writes on restoring the Imago Dei in the wake of violence and dignity lost. Others compare Christian and Islamic views of humanity in Central Asia, trace the image of God through Hebrews in dialogue with African traditional religion, or ask what the book of Ecclesiastes teaches us about being created but falling short of God’s commands. These are accompanied by essays from Michael Horton and Justin Holcomb.
‘Together, these essays trace how human dignity was broken in the Fall, and how it's being restored in Christ, the true image of God, in whom sinners are being remade.’
The entire issue issue is available as a pdf here.
