A divine God and human people. Emphases from the Old TestamentThe relationship between God and human beings is always part of theological discourse. Who God is and what human beings are, are the kind of theological questions that will always be asked. This article argues for a more comprehensive view of God to include also the more problematic aspects of God. The article argues also for a more comprehensive view of human beings rather than to reduce human beings to be only sinful people. The divine God and human people meet because the divine God is painted in human colours while the human people are described as Imago Dei.
