Orr, Rev. James. God’s image in man and its defacement in the light of modern ideals. **$1.75. Armstrong.
Professor Orr discusses “the conflict between the Biblical and the modern view of man—his nature, origin, and primitive condition, his sinfulness and the divine redemption from it. The difference between the so-called Biblical and the modern views is that the former regards God’s image in man as aboriginal, the latter regards it as ultimate. Man’s redemption from sin, therefore, the former regards as a reconstructive work, the latter as constructive or evolutionary.”—Outlook.
