Created in the Image of the Angels?
February 11, 2019
Alastair Roberts
Today I discuss the meaning of the first person plurals in Genesis 1:26 and how this might give us a more developed understanding of the image of God. For more on the issues I discuss here, you could read Meredith Kline's 'Images of the Spirit' (https://amzn.to/2BrubcY) or, with reservations, Michael Heiser's 'The Unseen Realm' (https://amzn.to/2WVqghS). James Jordan also discusses some of these issues in 'Through New Eyes' (https://amzn.to/2WVIAHq).
