and places -- and the distinctive character of our Reformed tradition.

other Christians, and would deepen their understanding of what they can
mean to each of us. Come and learn so that you can go and teach or

Wentzel van Huyssteen, James I. McCord Professor of Theology and Science, Princeton Theological Seminary. In this course we will begin by tracing and reinterpreting the complex history of the ancient doctrine of the imago Dei and then quite specifically ask: what could it possibly mean today to believe that in some important sense we have been created in the image of God? To answer these questions we will have to turn to the problem of human origins. Through our readings we will trace the deep historical and evolutionary background of theological anthropology and focus on the complex question what it really means to be human. What are the theological and ethical implications of this vast biological and cultural background history, and how does it affect our theologies today, as well as our Christian ethics? The syllabus for the colloquy and information about the leader can be found in the brochure: Click HEREFor more information please contact Mary Hill, Program Coordinator: Email: mhill@reformedinstitute.org; Phone: 703-518-5125 One God, Many Faiths: Reformed Theology Engages Religious Pluralism Presenter: Dr. Richard Plantinga, Calvin College Date: January 28, 20112 Time: 9:30 a.m. - Noon, 9:00 a.m. Complimentary Continental Breakfast Location: National Presbyterian Church, Washington, DC Registration is not necessary, but helpful in our planning.
