St Paul Repository
355-421.The creation of man ‘in the image of God’.What it means to be this image. Of all creatures only man is ‘able to know and love his creator’. Man and the whole of creation are made perfect, but we experience the reality of sin and suffering and death. The Fall of Adam and the doctrine of original sin. Christ is the New Adam. God has not abandoned us to the power of death, we have been redeemed through the cross of Christ – this is the Good News. 76 minutes
