a question of image

A journey through concepts of image and theology to examine some hugely contentious issues which are all bound up with our view of the body. The Bible states that humankind were created in the image of God. How do we reflect and distort that image? If Christians view Jesus as God in the flesh how does that impact on our view of the body? In an age where body image seems to be at the forefront of so many problems and body shaming is on the increase how do we work through these issues? Can theology help us to come to a balanced understanding of our intrinsic value as human beings and help us to accept our bodies as precious creations reflecting the image of God within us?
