I love the definition for image-bearers that Geerhardus Vos (1862–1949) gives, and I’ll be repeating it throughout the book: “That man bears God’s image means much more than that he is spirit and possesses understanding, will, etc. It means above all that he is disposed for communion with God, that all the capacities of his soul can act in a way that corresponds to their destiny only if they rest in God.”
