Abstract
This article traces the emergence of a combined reading of Gen 1:26f. and Gen 2:7 in the Christian literature of the second century. It presents and discusses pertinent passages from 1 Clement, Justin, Pseudo-Justin, Irenaeus, Theophilus and Tertullian. In these authors we find an exegesis that applies both verses to one and the same act of creation, including man’s soul as well as his body. This understanding yields consequences for several dogmatic topics such as creation, anthropology, resurrection, but also Christology, soteriology and the understanding of God and his relation to the Logos.
