Episode 515: God's Image - Tomer Persico

Dan and Lex are joined by Tomer Persico , author of a recent book entitled In God's Image: How Western Civilization Was Shaped by a Revolutionary Idea . Together they explore the notion of B'tzelem Elohim (the idea that all human beings are created "in the image of God") from the book of Genesis -- what are its implications, why might it be important to us, and might it have a shadow side?
