Respond to the discussion question below:
Imago Dei is latin for “the image of God”. As per scripture, God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all earch and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” The idea of man being made in the imager of God has been influenced by four definitions of Imago Dei (Ross, 2013).

This concept is important to the Christian perspective in healthcare as one should use their abilities and likeness to God as “earthly masters should reflect the justice and fairness found in the Heavenly Master.” (Eph.6:9; Col. 4:1). Healthcare providers, should carryout their duties as instructed by God, according to his teaching and in his likeness, reflecting goodness, love, and compassion, and discipline (PHI-413V Topic 1 Overview, 2019).
