Philip Edgcumbe Hughes (1915-1990) was an Anglican clergyman and New Testament scholar whose life spanned four continents: born in Australia, he grew up in South Africa, was ordained in England, and spent the latter half of his career teaching in several seminaries in the United States.

"A deeply learned and spiritually enriching book by a mature
evangelical scholar that brings the doctrine of Christ and the
human together at the point of the image of God. . . Hughes's
skills as both a biblical scholar and a historical and systematic
theologian are very evident in this work, which is his best book
yet. " J. I. Packer
-- Regent College
"In this wide-ranging biblical, historical, and theological study a
versatile veteran makes convincing use lf the concept of the divine
image to integrate the doctrines of man and Christ. Philip Hughe's
biblical bases are solid, his exposition weighty, and his
historical interactions judicious and enlightening. This is a very
valuable piece of work. " Sinclair B. Ferguson
-- Westminster Theological Seminary
"We have come to expect both solid learning and exquisite literary
style from Philip Edgcumbe Hughes. The True Image is no exception.
Indeed it is a remarkable piece of work, quarried from a lifetime
of study in biblical exegesis, systematic theology, and church
history. It is encyclopedic in its discussion of anthropology and
Christology and their mutual relationship. The novitate will find
it instructive, while the theologically advanced will discover
comprehensive exposition married to a scholarly judgment that
sometimes resurrects classical views, sometimes provides the
unexpected, and on occasion surprises with the controversial. "
