This is VERY interesting!
Scott N. Morschauser, a Presbyterian Theologian, has recently used
the evidence from the Ancient Near East to argue that Gen 1:26 should
be more properly understood as, "Image for God." In this way, many
theological stumbling blocks can be diverted since man isn't really
in the image of God.

Eastern Background of the Imago Dei," Theology Matters, Vol 3 No.6
