“…More particularly, to a theological audience it may sound strange to not engage Christology, in reflecting upon our human condition of aloneness, as a proximate doctrinal locus to that of theological anthropology -especially since the theological idea of the imago Dei again emerges in the New Testament, with reference to Jesus Christ. Indeed, Van Huyssteen (2006) recognised this himself, as evident in the articles published shortly after the publication of Alone in the World?, wherein he pays closer attention to Christology (See, for instance, Van Huyssteen 2008a, 2010a, 2010b.…”

In Princeton theologian Van Huyssteen’s (2006) major interdisciplinary work, Alone in the World? Human Uniqueness in Science and Theology, human uniqueness is rhetorically coupled with human aloneness. A comparison with a contemporary theological anthropology, namely Yale theologian Kelsey’s (2009) Eccentric Existence: A Theological Anthropology, shows an alternative approach to the notion or concept of the imago Dei, namely a theological shift from viewing human beings as image(s) of God, to viewing human beings as images of Christ, or images of the image of God. This contribution responds to the invitation implied in Van Huyssteen’s book title – are we alone in the world? – by exploring some of the rhetorical implications of a Christological interpretation of the imago Dei. One such implication may imply a different answer to Van Huyssteen’s question – are we alone in the world?; not yes, but no. Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s idea of Christ’s promeity illustrates how the rhetorical dynamics behind such a move in response – from yes to no – may potentially look, and that a rearticulation of human uniqueness could have direct consequences for how we imagine our human aloneness in the world.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: This article contributes to a specifically intradisciplinary conversation in Systematic Theology, on reading and interpreting the notion or theological idea of human beings being created in the image of God. This article does this through a close reading and comparison of two interdisciplinary projects on what it means to be human, namely Van Huyssteen’s Alone in the World? and Kelsey’s Eccentric Existence.

“…΄n Ander beskouing waarin die christologie van die historiese Jesus na vore kom, is in die christologie soos geïnterpreteer deur Van Huysteen (2008). Alhoewel hy nie soos die 'nuwe hervorming' radikaal afstand doen van ΄n 'hoë' christologie nie, bied hy ΄n christologie aan wat vanuit die perspektiewe van die paleontologie en die evolusionistiese etiek uitgewerk word.…”
