The primary purpose of this article is to collect the material which may serve as the basis for further study, not to elaborate a theory or construct a doctrine. References will be found in the relevant articles in the works of BAUER and KITTEL. ELTESTER'S study Eικών im Neuen Testament (Beiheft 23, zur ZNTW, Berlin,) was unfortunately not available in the preparation of this article.

• Imago Cf. however BRUNNER op. cit. 501: ‘The presupposition of this new doctrine of the—that is, the doctrine of the New Testament—in contrast to that of the Old Testament, is the following: the fact that man has been created in the Image of God has been lost, that it must be renewed in man’.

• It may however be pertinent to ask whether, when Paul speaks of himself as a τúπoς, or when Timothy and Titus are urged to present themselves as τúπoι (cf. 1 Peter 5. 3), there is not perhaps a Christological reference in the background. If so, these passages might also become relevant.

• But cf. BRUNNER op. cit. 501: ‘In this connection Cremer rightly points also to the passages in the New Testament where sonship to God is spoken of as likeness to God, of the ‘imitation’ of God, of ‘being holy as he is holy’.’ SCHMIDT (op. cit. 190) refers to John 6. 15, ‘welche Aussage Jesus Christus als die imago Dei verdeutlicht’.

• 1953 . The Image of God in Man Cf. CAIRNS, (London) 32 ff., who distinguishes three senses: the concept is used i) to describe Christ's dignity and sonship; ii) to describe the likeness to God into which believers enter through faith in Christ; iii) to describe man's humanity. For CAIRNS the third sense is marginal and the second is the central one. It should be added that the second sense “describes Christ's perfect humanity, in which by faith men can share, and in which they hope to be perfected” (ib. 35). Otherwise the summary quoted is misleading.
