Summer School 2012 – IMAGO DEI: dignified, degraded or redeemed

RZIM Europe — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 12:24:04 +0000

At present the Oxford Summer School is sold out! However, it is possible that a few rooms MAY be made available after 22^nd February, 1012. We are therefore compiling a waiting list on a first-come, first-served basis. Please email Liz on office@rzim.eu if you would like to be put on the waiting list.

The belief that people are made in the image of God has been responsible for shaping humanity and civilization for centuries. But when these “foundations are destroyed what should the righteous do?” (Psalms 11:2) What happens when the image of God is erased from the definition of mankind? If the value of humanity can no longer be sustained, what will the consequences be for future generations?

Imago Dei is an apologetics conference designed to help Christians communicate and defend their faith more effectively, as they seek to recapture the image of God for our society today. We will examine how, through time, man has grappled with contrasting ethical issues, opposing worldviews and a sea of rival religious thought in the hope of finding meaning.

‘Man was created a little lower than the angels, and has been getting lower ever since.’ (Josh Billings)
‘God is that infinite All of which man knows himself to be a finite part.’ (Leo Tolstoy)
‘His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance.’ (Hebrews 1:3)
