The Charge of God's Royal Children: A Narrative Analysis of the Imago Dei in Genesis 1-11

The Charge of God's Royal Children uses the tools of literary criticism (e.g., structure, plot, repetition, rhetorical aims, etc.) to analyze the explicit references to the imago Dei in Gen 1:26-28, 5:1-3, and 9:6 and how these references relate to one another and the developing narrative. The work proposes that the imago Dei (e.g., humanity as God's Royal Children) functions as a governing evaluative concept throughout Genesis 1-11, providing a standard by which the reader should evaluate the decisions and actions of the characters.
