Week Four, The Image of God: Male and Female, Genesis 1

This week we discuss the meaning of verses 26-27 in chapter one of Genesis. God makes male and female not “according to their kind,” but in the image of God?

What is an image?

In who’s image are the male and female created?

What does it mean for both males and females to be created in God’s image?

We also briefly looked at the second use of the merism “heavens and earth” in Genesis 2:4 and how it situates the reader of chapter two within the sequence of forming the land in chapter one.
