ABSTRACT
William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice, IV, i, 193-5 (c. 1596-8) 14 There is no expeditious road
To pack and label men for God, And save them by the barrel-load.
Francis Thompson, A Judgment in Heaven (1893) 15 The ordaining of salvation for man and of man for salvation is the original
and basic will of God, the ground and purpose of His will as Creator. Karl Barth, Church Dogmatics, IV, i (1936)
16 The God-image in man was not destroyed by the Fall but was only damaged and corrupted (‘deformed’), and can be restored through God’s grace.
