註釋Mankind is made in the image of God; it is something to which mankind is held accountable. However, God does not define what the image is. Therefore, mankind must place this image within a tangible context of reality in order to conceive of an object in which to be held accountable. To help mankind in this task, God has bestowed three tools for mankind’s disposal. These three tools are 1) Revelation 2) known models/constructs 3) and imagination. Through Revelation God proclaims who He is. Known models in the ancient Near East are used to convey the idea of the function mankind is expected to perform. Finally, imagination is the conduit by which mankind is able to explore the unknown. The New Testament provides a refined nuance. Mankind is able to identify how he is to perform his role as the image of God through the example of Christ.
