The Image of God: Gender Models in Judaeo-Christian Tradition

"These ten essays by distinguished scholars consider the gendering of the 'image of God' from the book of Genesis to the Protestant Reformation and beyond. How, the essays ask, was the notion of the 'image of God' construed in religious and theological discussions in the formative eras of Christian history? . . . Informative and engaging, these essays will be of value to both scholars of Christian history and theology and laypeople seeking to investigate the meaning of the Christian past for contemporary church life . . ." -- Elizabeth A. Clark. -- Back cover of book.
