Biblical Identity

In the Known by God Audio Lectures, part of the Biblical Theology for Life series, Brian Rosner explores three biblical angles on the question of personal identity: being made in the image of God, being known by God, and being in Christ. Rosner shows that rather than knowing ourselves, being known by God is the key to personal identity. It gives our fleeting lives significance, provokes in us humility, supplies comfort when things go wrong, and offers clear moral direction for living.

One of the principal theological themes of the Hebrew Bible is the relationship between Israel and God. At the heart of this bond is the supernatural experience at Sinai.

Israelite identity and in later centuries Jewish identity was also expressed in terms of ethnicity and...

Before the fall, Adam and Eve walked in perfect communion with Yahweh, fully aware of their identity and purpose. But after disobedience, they hid from Yahweh, signaling a loss of intimacy and a shift in their self-perception. Anxiety crept in, followed by alienation—not just from Yahweh but from their own true selves (The Authentic Man). This "spiritual amnesia" meant forgetting who they were in relation to their Creator, leading humanity into generations of identity struggles (The Fictional Man).

A great many Jewish holidays and practices, in their earliest understanding, reflect the great innovation of Biblical religion. The Bible emphasized historical events in contrast to nature. Other ancient Near Eastern religions stressed the latter. As Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel noted, in the Jewish tradition, faith is memory. The observances of Jewish holidays and various Jewish practices articulate theological ideas reflective of collective Jewish memory.
