Lucy Peppiatt – The Imago Dei (Part 2)
Since 2013, Lucy has been the principal of WTC where she lectures primarily in systematic theology and in spiritual formation. She is the author of 5 books, the latest of which is called The Imago Dei, and during this and the previous episode, Kenny has been talking to Lucy about the book and why the doctrine of the image of God is so foundational to the Christian faith.
In this conversation, which follows on from episode 1, Kenny and Lucy talk through different models of thought concerning the doctrine of the Imago Dei, and how our understanding of the doctrine can have transformative potential in the way we live practically. We do hope you enjoy listening to our second episode of the TheoDisc Podcast!
