Human beings are<br />made to be images (icons) of God. Ethics as such describes what virtue<br />looks like. It is iconographic. But Gregory’s distinction between God’s<br />incomprehensible transcendent being and His immanent activities is<br />also reflected in Gregory’s anthropology, since this is derived from his<br />theology. As such imitation must take form as following, understood as<br />the imitation of God’s concrete works in history. It is in the life of the<br />virtuous person that imitation of God can be perceived. This is how<br />iconographic ethics becomes biographic. In the article such ethics is<br />distinguished from ethics based on moral principles.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Dansk Teologisk Tidsskrift}, author={Steenbuch, Johannes Aakjær}, year={2014}, month={maj}, pages={121–138} }
