Analysis Paper

This assignment is based on Chapter 5 of Happiness and the Christian Moral Life by Paul Wadell. Having read the chapter, you will address the following points in your paper:
1. Briefly explain what Wadell means when he calls human beings creatures. What does this description suggest about our origins and purpose? Provide at least one quotation from the reading to support your analysis.
2. What do the imago Dei and imago Christi each reveal about human dignity? Provide at least one quotation from the reading to support your analysis.
3. According to Wadell, people who commit evil still reflect the image of God and can even be redeemed. Do you agree or disagree with this assessment? Can you imagine someone who is irredeemably evil?
