Humans were made “in the image of God.” The biblical understanding of the human being is the teaching that he or she has been created in God’s own “image” and after His “ likeness” (Gen. 1:26-28; 5:1-3; 9:6; Jas. 3:9). This paper discussed the original image of God, the Fall on the image of God in human, and the restoration of the image of God. Common views or categories of “image of God”-functional, relational, and structural or substantive are explained. In addition to those views, two other views-filial/familial relationship and a teleological or ultimate design/purpose are also introduced to define humans as “image of God.” Then, this paper discussed the implications for the claim that human beings are made in the image of God in relation with the tasks of Christian education. The first task is to renew perfection of the image of God related to the tasks of the aims of Christian education. The second task is to renew human as God’s representatives related to the task of the content of Christian education. The last task is to renew human relationships related to the tasks of understanding students as relational existences in Christian education.

소개
한국에 복음이 들어오고, 교회가 설립된 것은 19세기 말이었다.
해방이 되면서 한국교회는 더욱 발전하게 되었고 그에 따라 기독교교육의 중요성과 필요성도 강조되게 되었다. 그러한 과정에 기독교교육을 전공한 학자들이 귀국함에 따라 그들을 중심으로 한국기독교교육학회를 결성할 필요성을 느껴 설립하게 되었다.
한국기독교교육학회의 설립 목적은 기독교교육학의 이론적 발전과 실천을 위한 연구와 장을 확대해가려는 것이다. 그리고 학자들간의 연구교류와 교제를 위한 장을 마련하기 위하여 본 학회를 1960년에 설립하였다.
