imago Dei, human dignity, Donald Trump, Bible, Christian, missionAbstract
For the Christian, human dignity is intrinsically tethered to the biblical concept of imago Dei. If God has indeed made men, women, and children in his image, there is no length to which Christians must not go in reaching everyone with the gospel. Racial, gender, religious, and special needs discrimination, which has only expanded under the presidency of Donald Trump, has no place in God’s kingdom and attacks Christian mission to its core. In this article, the author, himself a cross-cultural missionary from the United States, surveys the concept of imago Dei and offers both personal and public implications for future Christian mission in the “Age of Trump.”
