This study aims to investigate the theological tasks of Christianity in the era of the 4th industrial revolution. Since technology is changing nature of humanity characterized by a shift from Homo Sapiens to Homo Deus, the 4th industrial revolution should be of theological concern. However, the Bible proclaims that human identity is fundamentally that of a creature created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). I would like to summarize the concept of the image of God and its theological and ethical meaning from the following five perspectives: a created being, an holistic existence, a communal or social existence, human dignity and stewards in the Cultural Mandate. First, humans are creatures who arefinite and depent, and even human creativity expressed in technological innovation only means “created” as co creators. Second, as a holistic being of body and soul, we criticize the distorted understanding of human enhancement technology which only emphasizes the human body and regards prolonged lifespan as eternal life or artificial intelligence. It not only gives up human physicality, but also simply pursues mental immortality. Third, human beings are communal beings who must live in harmony with God, their neighbors, and the natural world. Fourth, human beings, as dignified beings like God, have freedom and equal rights, and thus should not be instrumentalized under any circumstances. Lastly, human beings are stewards with the responsibility to carry out God’s Cultural Mandate. By using technology, human beings should take care of creation and rule over it.
