Biblical Theology, Human Faith and the Divine Image

Insightful and accessible. Renowned Bible scholar Dr. Yochanan Muffs examines the anthropomorphic evolution of the Divine Image-from creator of the cosmos to God the father, husband, king, "chess-player"-and how these diverse images of God have shaped us.
