Die imago Dei in protologiese, Christologiese en eskatologiese perspektief
Abstract
The Imago Dei in protological, Christological and eschatological perspective This article discusses the significance of the concept of the “imago Dei” for theological anthropology. Genesis 1 deliberately gives the concept an “open” meaning to make further theological reflection on the nature thereof possible. A purely protological understanding of the concept is therefore insufficient. The New Testament provides the “imago Dei” with a Christological and eschatological understanding that is essential for a correct understanding of the concept as well as for the development of a theological anthropology.
