by Timothy Howe (Author)
The Charge of God's Royal Children uses the tools of literary criticism (e.g., structure, plot, repetition, rhetorical aims, etc.) to analyze the explicit references to the imago Dei in Gen 1:26-28, 5:1-3, and 9:6 and how these references relate to one another and the developing narrative. The work proposes that the imago Dei (e.g., humanity as God's Royal Children) functions as a governing evaluative concept throughout Genesis 1-11, providing a standard by which the reader should evaluate the decisions and actions of the characters.
