About this title

Synopsis

What does it mean to be made in God's image if God is Father, Son and Spirit? Tom Smail offers an approach to theological anthropology based on the doctrine of the Trinity, asserting that we are only human when we reflect the relationships between Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The book focuses on what it is to be like Father, Son and Holy Spirit, focusing in particular on the initiating love of the Father, the responsive love of the Son and the creative love of the Holy Spirit. Interacting with sociological, theological and personal issues of concern on a day-to-day level, Like Father, Like Son is relevant to Christian living in both the church and the world.
