 Description In this exam I will explore evil that is located within male dominated images of the Imago Dei (Image of God) and its relation to African American women’s experiences of intimate violence . Here, I begin with an overview of how the early privileging of maleness in the works of Tertullian and Pauline texts, lead to a collective understanding of the Imago Dei that produced the historical subjugation of women in the Christian Church.
