The Unique Shape of Souls
Human beings possess a unique soul shape, reflecting God's image and glory, which distinguishes them from animals. However, sin distorts this likeness, turning individuals inward and creating a self-centered existence. This distortion, termed 'incurvatus in se' by Martin Luther, leads to a focus on self rather than on the divine image one is meant to reflect. As a result, individuals may experience spiritual starvation and a disconnection from the source of true life and nourishment.
