Abstract "What does it mean to say humans are the image of God when apophatic theology speaks of an infinite God who transcends comprehension and worldly appearance? Bringing Church Father, Gregory of Nyssa into dialogue with the phenomenologies of Michel Henry, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and Jean-Louis Chretien, Breedlove answers this question and explores the importance of embodiment to the doctrine of divine likeness. In doing so, he presents a novel theological anthropology, which claims that imago Dei is not merely one aspect of human identity, but rather precisely what constitutes 'human creatureliness', as revealed in the dynamism and groundlessness of the flesh"-- Provided by publisher.
