Mormon: [Note 45] "Scott N. Morschauser, a Presbyterian Theologian, has
recently used the evidence from the Ancient Near East to argue that Gen 1:26
should be more properly understood as, *"Image for God."* In this way, many
theological stumbling blocks can be diverted since man isn't really in the
image of God." ~ S.N. Morschauser, "Created in the Image of God: The Ancient
Near Eastern Background of the Imago Dei," Theology Matters, Vol 3 No.6
