Image of God: Why this concept doesn't make any sense without Jesus

One line in Genesis sparked one of the most radical ideas in human history - and it changed everything: how emperors punished criminals, how we think about slavery, and how we understand what it means to be human. In this video, we explore the Imago Dei - the Image of God - and trace its stunning journey through history. We are a crowdfunded charitable organisation where everything we make is made possible through the generous giving of people like you!

Christian history is full of weird and wonderful stories, but it also has its fair share of division, violence, and controversy. How do we make sense of it all? Then there's theology —the big questions of faith that can feel overwhelming. At ChristianStory, we believe history and theology don't have to be barriers to faith — they can deepen it. Christianity is a centuries-long story of people wrestling with what it means to be part of it. We want to bring that story to life.
