Reformed theologian Hoekema's systematic exposition of Christian anthropology. "The image of God" is a key concept for understanding human nature and dignity.

The work combines systematic theology's rigor with pastoral care's practicality, providing important resources for understanding Christian anthropology.

神的形象是人类固有的结构特征,还是人类的功能表现?乌克玛综合两种观点。
Is God's image humans' inherent structural feature or functional expression? Hoekema synthesizes both views.

在基督里,神的形象开始得到更新。重生是形象更新的开始,成圣是持续的过程。
In Christ, God's image begins renewal. Regeneration starts image renewal; sanctification is ongoing process.

Ch.8: Social Responsibility and Cultural Mandate
作为神的形象承载者,人类有管理受造界和发展文化的责任。这是神的形象的功能体现。

Ch.9: Male and Female in God's Image
男性和女性都完全承载神的形象,但以不同的方式表达。性别差异丰富了形象的表达,而非限制。

死亡是神的形象的暂时中断,复活是形象的完全恢复。基督的复活保证了我们的复活。
Death is temporary interruption of God's image; resurrection is image's complete restoration. Christ's resurrection guarantees our resurrection.

In new heaven and earth, God's image will be perfectly realized. We will "be conformed to his image," perfectly reflecting God's glory.
