In a world often focused on self-reliance, this book emphasizes humanity's deep-seated need for the grace of God's personal presence. Christa McKirland, a researcher exploring Christian theology and science, proposes a fresh perspective on the image of God, suggesting it as foundational for theology engaged with science. Through exegetical and theological arguments, McKirland contends that humans are inherently designed to thrive in God's presence. This dependency, far from a weakness, reflects our highest human dignity. The book features a foreword by Alan J. Torrance.
