What is a human being?

"The concept [of the human being as representative] deals with man as he actually is, the non-autonomous and non-independent creature, unable to rely on himself alone; man, who can find and possess his riches and his glory precisely only in his dependence on and his communion with God."

-G.C. Berkouwer, Man: The Image of God (Dirk W. Jellema, trans. 1962), p. 114 (emphasis added).
