You Tube Theology

In this excerpt, Thomas Schreiner reflects on Genesis 9 and the grounding of justice in the image of God.
He argues that the command regarding capital punishment is rooted not in the Mosaic covenant, but in the transcultural reality that human beings are made in God’s image. Schreiner also connects this principle to Romans 13 and the role of government in restraining evil.
The discussion raises a deeper question: when our moral reasoning conflicts with the text, which authority ultimately governs our conclusions?
