Zusatztext A remarkable interdisciplinary exploration of the imago Dei, every chapter of Welz's study builds upon her articles in German, Danish, and English previously published in journals and collected volumes. Each reflects careful scholarship on a range of figures, literatures, and disciplines and manifests the fruit of vetting by diverse academic audiences. An exemplary and welcome contribution to contemporary discourses about the imago Dei and human dignity, Welz ventilates a conversation at times dominated by historical, political, analytic, and jurisprudential categories by foregrounding other methodologies: hermeneutical, phenomenological, post-Holocaust theology, and philosophy of religion. This monograph deserves the careful attention of all who would seek to understand the imago Dei and its implications for human dignity today.
