The Liberating Image? Interpreting the Imago Dei in Context

چکیده
Then God said, "Let us make humanity in our image, according to our likeness. And let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air. Let them rule over the livestock, over all the earth, and over everything that moves upon the earth." So God created humanity in his image. In the image of God he created him.

And rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth." (Genesis 1:26-28)

I argue that apes and some other mammals have moral agency and th...
