After Genesis 1:26-27 and Psalm 8
The image is not the reality,
the substance, but a picture,
a sketch, a drawing,
a representation of the real,
the substantive. The image
is tied to the reality it
represents, even thought it
may be separate and apart,
independent except that
without the reality it
represents, it becomes
meaningless, lost, trying
to recreate by itself what
it is derived from, what
it pictures, what it represents,
as in the image of God.
