Man: the image of God

---

“What is man?’ is at the center of theological and philosophical concern… Why should this be a PROBLEM? It would seem that there is nothing so widely and generally ‘known’ in everyday experience as is man… Is not this ‘nature’ experienced by all of us, in ourselves and in others, in countless relationships, in the heights of human happiness and the depths of grief? Who does not ‘know’ man, whom we daily encounter, and the man that we ourselves are? There can only be one answer to such questions; namely, that this almost irresistible problem appears to many a mind NOT to have found a clear and obviously irrefutable answer, and that this apparently general ‘knowledge’ of the nature of man is not so obvious after all… Hence it does not appear, on second thought, to be at all clear and obvious WHO and WHAT man really is, and there is thus every reason to pose the problem.”
