Christian beliefs about human nature and incorporate Gen. 1:26-28, Strachan, and Frederick while addressing the following prompts:

1. Are humans fundamentally good? Bad? What is your basis for arguing for either humans being fundamentally good or bad?
2. What do you believe Gen 1.26-28 means for humanity and the cosmos? What is the purpose of humanity based on Gen. 1:1:26-28? How is this reflected in the idea of identity as crucial to being made in God's image?
3. Relying on Frederick, what are the three components making up the image of God?
4. How do they relate to your beliefs about human nature?
5. How do you understand authenticity as reflecting a doxological life? How does glorifying God reflect one's identity as an image-bearer? How does this relate to a behavioral science understanding of human nature ?
