God and his image : an outline of biblical theology
This is a book about the close relationship between God and man. It is about the long history of God's love for man and the struggles that man has had in remaining faithful to God and keeping intact the divine image in which he was created. The author's purpose here is to present what God says about himself and about those made in his image (man) in the inspired texts of Scripture. The author helps us see the profound unity between the Old and New Testaments, and he shows how the Old Testament is a necessary and valuable light for men of faith today
