What is man—and
what has sin done?
Human beings bear God’s image and possess real dignity, yet Adam’s fall has brought guilt, corruption, bondage, and death.
This volume holds together creation and catastrophe: embodied human life, moral accountability, marriage, work, conscience, the Fall, original sin, personal responsibility, judgment, and the enduring need for the Last Adam and new creation in Christ.
“So God created man in his own image.”— Genesis 1:27
THE DOCTRINAL BURDEN
Fallen in Adam
The first rebellion brought shame, curse, alienation, corruption, and death into human experience.
Responsible before God
Inherited corruption never erases conscience, choice, guilt, or the certainty of righteous judgment.
In need of the Last Adam
The doctrine of man and sin points beyond itself to redemption and new creation in Christ.
