The image of man in the creation narratives of the Bible

How self-images, the perceptions of others, and caricatures can fundamentally
 shape human existence and what role the image of man plays in the Bible are discussed by
 the author with her examination of the two creation narratives in Gen 1,1-2,4a and Gen
 2,4b-3,24. After a brief introduction to the origins and the differences between the
 Priestly and Jahwist accounts of creation, she first analyzes the Priestly account,
 which focuses on the creation of the world as a whole. The idea expressed here of the
 human being as an ›image of God‹, which includes women and men equally, initially paints
 an exceedingly positive picture of people and the world, so that the author asks herself
 whether ultimately this story doesn’t seem almost naive, since there is no evil in it at
 all and everything is given the predicate ›good‹. With this question she goes into the
 analysis of the second account of creation, which focuses more on the creation of man
 and describes him as a kind of »in-between being made of divine breath and matter«. Here
 it becomes clear that it is man who gives existence to evil by reaching for the fruits
 of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil without authority, obeying the voice of
 Satan more than that of God. This turns his salvific state into an unsalvific one, which
 according to this idea continues to this day. Divided into a before and after, the
 author examines this biblical account of ›the Fall‹ in detail in order to summarize
 subsequently what constructive and destructive meanings can be read out of these two
 accounts of creation for our present image of man.
