The author discusses three issues: (1) daily approaches to the dignity and sacredness of human life and their consequences; (2) the sacredness of life to be rediscovered and mediated through the Bible; (3) “humanity/ādām created in God’s own image and likeness”: dynamic and canonical meaning. At the end he asks for route to be proposed to the sacredness and mystery of life in our days, news and current affairs.References
