The presentation would deal with the legacy of the imago dei tradition in light of the anthropology’s flight from nature, exemplified by the elimination of the term ‘science’ in the American anthropological Association’s self-description several years ago. It will also chart some theological differences on the imago dei, some of which deny the reality of human nature.
