Imaging the Image: A Relational Anthropology
In this lecture, Ury will examine the decline of the concept of personhood in the modern era along with its corresponding separation from the doctrine of the Trinity, and then trace the theme of personhood—both human and divine—through the creation narratives. The question of evolutionary or creationist perspectives will be addressed as they pertain to a full understanding of human personhood. Ury aims to show that if we are able to discern the essence of created personhood in its fullness then it is possible to define the nature of sin and of salvation in such a way that God the Creator is revealed as not only able to remove the consequences of sin but as also able to recreate a human person in his image in time and eternity.
