Lesson Vocabulary

  • Imago Dei
    :
    Latin for “Image of God.” Human beings as male and female are made in God’s image, which means that we are persons and that we possess intellect, free will, and a capacity for love. (381, 1978, 2319)
  • Trinity
    :
    The Christian belief revealed to us by God that He is three Persons in One God: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. (261, 267)
  • Masculinity
    :
    The qualities of being a male, or manliness. Masculinity is an essential part of the male identity which is reflected in the male body, in the way men think, in the way men respond to the world around them, and in all of the different aspects of being a human male. It is not a socialized concept, but rather a truth inherently known and recognized. (381, 382, 383, 1660, 2393)
  • Femininity
    :
    The qualities of being a female, or womanliness. Femininity is an essential part of the female identity which is reflected in the female body, in the way women think, in the way women respond to the world around them, and in all of the different aspects of being a human female. It is not a socialized concept, but rather a truth inherently known and recognized. (381, 382, 383, 1660, 2393)
  • Anthropology
    :
    The study of human beings that concerns their origin, nature, and destiny. A Christian anthropology considers the human person from a Christian perspective, as made in the image and likeness of God. (1892, 1926)
  • Sex
    :
    Being male or female as God made us rooted in both the body and the soul. (2393, 2395)
