Abstract

The creation of a human being to be the picture and likeness of God is a foundation and a basic thesis of each theological anthropology. This article is an attempt to present this subject from a personalistic perspective. Within the analysis of the issue, four closely related questions have been considered: 1) imago Dei – the original creation of man, 2) imago christi – salvific iconicity, 3) imago trinitatis –social likeness to God, and 4) iconistic dynamics.
