Conformed to the Image of His Son

In this book, Haley Goranson Jacob delves into the meaning of 'conformed to the image of his Son' in Romans 8:29.

She argues that this phrase does not refer to moral or spiritual conformity but rather to vocational participation in Christ's rule over creation.

Jacob contends that believers share in Christ's exalted status and participate in his benevolent messianic rule, restoring humanity's dominion over creation as intended by God. The book explores the background of 'glory' in Jewish literature, the use of glory in Paul's writings, and the implications of this understanding for Christian theology and practice.
