Groundbreaking research has come to be a hallmark of Meredith G. Kline, and this seminal monograph sustains that reputation. The underlying concept finding development here is the paradigm function of the theophanic Glory-cloud in the creation of the image of God. The author identifies the major symbolic models employed in Scripture to expound the nature of the divine image in man -- the priestly and the prophetic. "Overlooked though it has been," writes the author in the preface, "the idea of creation in the image of the Glory-Spirit is, in fact, a foundational and pervasive theme in the Scriptures." He develops this theme not in systematic-theological fashion but in exegetical studies of a biblico-theological character. - Back cover.
