DESCRIPTION:When is it OK to kill people?  This paper explores views on bl
 oodshed in the Christian and Jewish traditions.  It traces the concept of 
 the ‘image of God’ from Ancient Near Eastern contexts\, through biblic
 al usage\, and in subsequent Christian and Jewish theological understandin
 gs.  What happens when a sacred concept previously applied specifically to
  royalty is applied ‘democratically’ to all human beings?  And how are
  restrictions on bloodshed changed if the image of God is understood as re
 ferring only to the soul and not to the body?\n
