M1.05 (Informal) - Rm 3

In the very opening narrative of the Torah, we read that human beings are created in the image of God. But what does this mean? In this session we will explore the idea in its literary and historical context, and trace its interpretation through the millennia. We will emerge with a fresh appreciation for the sheer radicalism, subversiveness, and transformational power of this concept.
