A landmark work of intellectual history, In Our Image and Likeness: Humanity and Divinity in Italian Humanist Thought presents a sweeping and rigorously argued examination of the theological and philosophical dimensions of Italian Renaissance humanism. Charles Trinkaus challenges the long-held assumption that Renaissance humanism was primarily a secular movement, instead arguing that the humanists' engagement with questions of human dignity, free will, and the soul was deeply and inseparably intertwined with Christian theology. Drawing on an extraordinary range of primary sources — from Petrarch and Valla to Ficino and Pico della Mirandola — the work chronicles how Italian thinkers reimagined the relationship between humanity and the divine, placing man's creative and spiritual capacities at the very center of their worldview. The tone is scholarly and authoritative, yet animated by a genuine sense of intellectual discovery, making it an essential text for anyone seeking to understand the religious underpinnings of one of history's most celebrated cultural movements.
