What does it mean that humans are made in the image of God?
In this conversation with Dr. Brett Williams, we explore the biblical and theological meaning of the image of God, how it distinguishes humanity from the rest of creation, and how redemption in Christ restores what sin has broken.
Dr. Williams also shares how understanding the image of God shapes key doctrines—salvation, sanctification, and our response to cultural debates about human dignity, identity, and value.
