Made in the Image of God or Trapped in Cosmic Hierarchy?

What is a human being? Is man made in the image of a personal Creator, or is he merely a temporary expression within an impersonal cosmic order?This book examines Hindu teachings on creation, the self, karma, rebirth, caste, liberation, and human identity through the Vedas, Upaniṣads, Bhagavad Gītā, Purāṇas, Dharmaśāstras, and philosophical traditions. It compares those claims with the biblical doctrine of creation, sin, judgment, redemption, and the equal moral worth of every person before God.The argument is direct: a worldview that ranks human beings by birth and locates salvation in self-realization cannot provide the same foundation for human dignity as the biblical revelation that every person bears God's image and needs redemption through Jesus Christ.
