Notes on Genesis 1:26-27
Last Sunday (July 25, 2010) my message discussed the meaning, implications, and importance of the phrase “God created man in his own image” from Genesis 1:27-27
. The audio for that message is available here and here (on iTunes).
I read a number of things that helped me understand this phrase, but one of the most helpful articles I read is called “Men and Women in the Image of God” by John Frame. This article was a chapter in Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood. Frame’s article especially helped me understand how the human body images God which is by function, not by form, since God is pure spirit and does not have a physical form. Although I read Frame’s writing on this in the book, the same article appears to be available online here. I recommend it for more information on the image of God in humanity.

I learned a lot from reading “Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood” a year or two back. It’s a really good book.
Agreed, Jenny. There are so many good articles in that book.
