Rather than referring to some germinal divine element in humans, such as reason, McFarland claims that the image of God in us tells us something about God and how we know God. It tells us that God, though not identical with us, communicates Godself to us in creative love, in a way that offers precious clues about God's transcendence, immanence, triune life, self-disclosure, incarnation, and intentions for human life. McFarland's careful and exacting work builds from this kernel a powerful Christian vision of God's life and our own destiny in Christ.
Ian A McFarland is Senior Lecturer in Systematic Theology, University of Aberdeen. His previous publications include Difference and Identity: A Theological Anthropology (2001) and Listening to the Least: Doing Theology from the Outside In (1998).
