The Image of God

Light of Truth

“In the Old Testament the word of Jahveh is never a force of nature as in Assyria and Babylonia, but is always the fiction of a conscious and moral personality. This is related to the distin-ction in the image of God; the gods of the other Semitic peoples were originally perso-nified forces of nature. … On the contrary, nom the beginning Jahveh was a conscious and moral personality.
