Asking about Who We are

Abstract

“Whatever we are, we are at all because God has spoken. As human beings, simply as human beings, we carry the image of God. When the time comes to tell other stories of how things are and got to be that way, when the time comes to tell stories of call, covenant, slavery, liberation, law, land exile, redemption, and salvation for all the families of the earth, it is from this story it all begins, it is this God who speaks with whom we have to deal, it is as creatures (at least once) endowed with God's own image that we may and must live. This is the source, this is the freedom, and this is the limit.”
