delves into [the imago Dei] doctrine, examining its implications for relationships, ethics, sexuality, consumer visual culture, art making, dissemination of the gospel, and more. Comprising twelve essays that resulted from the 2015 Wheaton Theology Conference, the book explores what it means to be made in God’s image and issues a challenge: that we resist all the false images that try to topple the one true image in our lives.

I love this painting by Aboriginal artist, Lillian Fourmile, which hangs in St Thomas’s Church in Mareeba, Australia. It is titled, Reconciliation. I wish I could see more detail, especially in the center.
The hand-printed cross above it was painted by an Arrernte woman from Santa Teresa Catholic Mission in Central Australia.
Have a blessed Easter!
