Being God's Image

Why Creation Still Matters

De: Carmen Joy Imes

Narrado por: Carmen Joy Imes

What does it mean to be human? This timeless question proves critical as we seek to understand our purpose, identity, and significance. Amidst the many voices clamoring to shape our understanding of humanity, the Bible reveals important truths related to our human identity and vocation that are critical to the flourishing of all of creation.

Carmen Joy Imes seeks to recover the theologically rich message of the creation narratives starting in the book of Genesis as they illuminate what it means to be human. Every human being is created as God's image. Imago Dei is our human identity, and God appointed humans to rule on God's behalf. Being God's Image explores the implications of this kinship relationship with God and considers what it means for our work, our gender relations, our care for creation, and our eternal destiny. The Bible invites us into a dramatically different quality of life: a beloved community in which we can know God and one another as we are truly known.

Great sequel to Bearing God's Name!

Fantastic book and a great follow-up to Bearing God's Name!! Thoroughly enjoyed the narration. Looking forward to diving into this with a small group.

Dr Imes brings the HEAT!

absolutely loved this book! I've been really enjoying Dr Imes' way of presenting sound scholarship that *could* be a little heady and brings it right down to an accessible level without losing any potency.

the food for thought, especially at the end of the chapters, were particularly challenging and a true call to action onnthr part of the reader.

I'm inspired!

Breath of Fresh Air

This is exactly what we need to hear. It’s bold in places we like to color over and it gives us hope for change and unity.
Great for a study group!

One of best books I’ve read in 2023

An insightful book that takes a deeper look at scriptures and its commands that are not only practical but completely essential to our Christian walk and existence. If you are trying to apply more than just knowledge and wisdom, but an embrace of the personhood of Christ, enter this journey.

Great Listen

Carmen offers very good insights into the Biblical story and how our relationship with our creator is richer that we may have been taught.
