Ronald C. Calhoun: "There is a positive and negative side to living life in the image of God, the negative necessitated by the positive. On the positive side, there is a freedom for or openneess to the other person, divine or human, wherein one stands in a condition of integrity before the other without hiddenness or deception. On the negative side, there is a freedom from or closedness to self-domination and earth domination (domination of things), which, if they were allowed, would cancel out the intended openness between oneself and God and oneself and the other human person." (In Ronald C. Calhoun's Life in the Image of God: the Sermon on the Mount as a Hillside Holiness Message, Westbow Press, 2013).
