In our first ever Theodisc episode, Kenny hosts a discussion of Lucy Peppiatt’s book, The Imago Dei, through an exploration of the doctrine of the Imago Dei and its implications. Part 1 covers a broad exploration of what it means for us to be 'made in the image of God'.
Episode Outline:
Start-01:20 – Introduction
01:24-04:38 – A few of Lucy’s favourite things.
04:38-07:19 – What led to the writing of this book?
07:19-09:16 – Why is the doctrine of the Imago Dei so important for us to wrestle with?
09:16-12:04 – ‘What does it mean to be made in the image of God?’ feels like a fundamental question without a simple answer. Why do you think this is? Is this a function of how wide-reaching the doctrine is to human existence?
12:04-16:16 – As you sifted through some of the history of thought on the Imago Dei, what were some discoveries you made?
16:16-25:11 – Your book opens with a series of questions – perhaps we could touch on some of those and the issues they raise.
25:11-29:49 – We seem to learn something of God by looking at ourselves, and of ourselves by looking at God. How can we push into this while still maintaining a healthy and necessary distinction between God and humanity?
29:49-34:15 – What does being made in the image of God say to those personally who do not feel worthy or that they have any value? How can the Imago Dei be a life-giving doctrine?
34:15-End – Closing information
