Genesis: Imago Dei

TEXT

Genesis 1:26-31

Psalm 104:1-35

“Scripture does not state its doctrine as doctrine but by telling a story, and without exceeding the limits set by nature of a story. It uses the methods of story-telling to a degree, however, that world literature has not yet learned to use; and its cross references and interconnections, while noticeable, are so unobtrusive that a perfect attention is needed to grasp its intent - an attentiveness so perfect that it has not yet been fully achieved. Hence, it remains for us latecomers to point out the significance of what has hitherto been overlooked, neglected, insufficiently valued.” –Martin Buber
