Session 1 - Man as an Icon of God

Session I - Man as an Icon of God Description: In the first of a series of teachings done at the St. Peter’s Believers Eastern Church, Wills Point, Texas. Dr. Nathan Jacobs lays the foundation for a clear understanding of Orthodox Theology. Showing how Augustine of Hippo’s understanding of Original Sin, led to the Nature/Grace divide and how this sharply contrasts with the understanding the Eastern Fathers and the Holy Scriptures, of man as an Icon of God. How the entire story of humanity – creation, fall and incarnation, are to be seen in this light.
