Instead of primarily wondering “Where will I go when I die?”, in a secular, post-Christian culture, it is more likely to find people asking “Who am I while I am alive?”

For this reason, in this presentation I argue that faithful witness in our day must recover a Christologically grounded account of the imago Dei which proclaims salvation as the restoration of human identity, vocation, and destiny through participation in the self-giving life of God.
