In this excerpt, Thomas Schreiner reflects on the meaning of the image of God in Genesis 1–2.

He explains that human beings were created as God’s representatives — ruling on His behalf and serving as both kings and priests within His creation. Drawing connections to priestly language in the Old Testament and the idea of the garden as a temple, Schreiner highlights the depth and richness of the biblical vision for humanity.
