About Augustine’s Early Theology of Image: A Study in the Development of Pro-Nicene Theology (Oxford Studies in Historical Theology)

What does it mean for Christ to be the and “image of God and “? And, if Christ is the and “image of God, and ” can the human person also unequivocally be understood to be the and “image of God and “? Augustine’s Early Theology of Image examines Augustine’s conception of the imago dei and makes the case that it represents a significant departure from the Latin pro-Nicene theologies of Hilary of Poitiers, Marius Victorinus, and Ambrose of Milan only a generation earlier.Augustine’s predecessors understood the imago dei principally as a Christological term designating the unity of divine substance. But, Gerald P. Boersma argues, Augustine affirms that Christ is an image of equal likeness, while the human person is an image of unequal likeness. Boersma’s careful study thus argues that a Platonic and participatory evaluation of the nature of and “image and ” enables Augustine’s early theology of the image of God to move beyond that of his Latin predecessors and affirm the imago dei both of Christ and of the human person.
