"Quite a few books have been written, respectively, on the image of God, theological anthropology, and neuroscience, but few weave these themes together in a single text. Kwang-Jin Oh has done so seamlessly and insightfully, as well as suggesting a number of implications for future inquiry. An impressive first book by a young scholar." --Brent Waters, director emeritus, Stead Center for Ethics and Values, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary "By giving attention to the image of God and how memory has informed it, Kwang-Jin Oh has made contributions to the doctrine of God, theological anthropology, and Wesley studies. Until now, scholars have given little attention to the importance of memory to Wesley's image of God. Oh has demonstrated here how memory is crucial and constitutive to it." --Barry E. Bryant, associate professor of United Methodist and Wesleyan studies, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary "Theologian and neuroscientist Kwang-Jin Oh offers a compelling and unique call for recentering the body in Christian theology.

Might the image of God find its place in embodied memories of God? Thoroughly theological and biblical, it is only in the last chapters that he offers a tantalizing glimpse into possible neuroscientific mechanisms of memory. Theologians grappling with the problem of dualism will find much to ponder; his extensive historical review and creative approach to science and theology will intrigue scientists and students alike." --David Hogue, professor emeritus of pastoral theology and counseling, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary.
