“With the distortion of weak imaging through human imitation comes the loss of strong imaging by way of the presence of the divine image…From prideful wisdom one falls into simple stupidity. All that is left is a weak image in the weakest sense - human capacities themselves as the image of God without the divine Spirit of the Word’s own goodness and truth that allows to be exercised excellently” (p. 35).

“Contrary to common associations of the term ‘become,’ the Word is not fundamentally altered in becoming incarnate. It undergoes no basic transformation of character or change of location. The Word does not become a man in the way…a character in a Kafka short story might become a roach…The Word is not going somewhere in becoming incarnate with the intent…of gaining a new set of experiences…” (p. 144)

Tanner charging the nouvelle theologie with sneaking in its own form of natura pura:
“By affirming the idea of a nature-based desire for God, one cannot…avoid in any thoroughgoing way the naturalism associated with a two-tier account of nature and grace–nature as a self-enclosed substructure with grace an added superstructure–because the idea of such a desire is itself implicitly naturalistic” (p. 124).

Tanner’s greatly nuanced and very provocative account of losing the imago Dei. The arguments here are so subtle that they escape summary.
