On Biblical Tradition: In the Judaeo-Christian tradition, thequestion of our ‘Human Nature’ rests first and foremost on therelationship us human beings have to a Creator God; a God that notonly freely creates this ‘world’ but also sentient, rational‘beings’ like us. WE are supposed to express the HEIGHT or PINNACLEof this creation. We – us – are said to be created in the IMAGE ofGod; what are the implications of this in terms of our nature? Whatdistinguishes us from all other created things? What relationshipdo we have with both the WORLD and GOD who is the creator of thisworld? Is there a particular way we OUGHT to behave in the world?What expresses the GOOD in the commands of GOD? Are they Good inthemselves or are they Good simply because God commands us to doso? Elaborate.
