In the Image of God

In the last years, starting from the study of the foundations of human rights, Pier Cesare Bori has focused his researches on the exegesis of Genesis 1, 26-28, according to which man is created in the image of God. In the Christian framework the imago Dei has led different interpretations: a charismatic and eschatological, an ontological and a functional one. To solve the contradictions between these different exegesis of imago Dei Bori has suggested to consider a larger context looking not only at the Christian tradition but also at the other monotheisms and at the other cultures and religions. The proceedings here presented are the result of this attempt to develop new approaches to the study of topic of imago Dei.
