pg. 21 To be an Eikon means, first of all, to be in union with God as Eikons; second it means to be in communion with other Eikons; and third, it means to participate with God in his creating, his ruling, his speaking, his naming, his ordering, his variety and beauty, his location, his partnering and his resting and to oblige God in his obligation of us. (emphasis added)
Pg.21 To be an Eikon means to be in relationship.
Pg. 21 The atonement is designed by God to restore cracked Eikons into glory-producing Eikons by participation in the perfect Eikon, Jesus Christ, who redeems the cosmos. To be an Eikon, then, is to be charged with a theocentric and missional life.
pg.23 Sin is the hyperrelational distortion and corruption of the Eikon's relationship with God and therefore with self, with others and with the world.
pg. 24 A hyperrelational theory of sin clarifies systemic corruption.
