Systematic Theology
is required reading in many courses on biblical theology--and with good reason. The textbook's emphasis on the scriptural basis for each doctrine, along with its clear writing, and contemporary approach make it an indispensable resource for many Christians.
This series presents, as a separate book, each of the seven main parts that make up the 1,600-page
, making it more portable, affordable, and less daunting.
Part 3--
Making Sense of Man and Sin
--explores how mankind is distorted, but not lost, through sin and is renewed through redemption in Christ.
Important Topics Include:
The creation of male and female, including harmonious personal relationships, equality in personhood and importance, and difference in role and authority.
Equality and differences in the Trinity.
The essential nature of man.
Our inherited guilt and corruption because of Adam's sin.
Written in a friendly tone, appealing to the emotions and the spirit as well as the intellect,
helps readers overcome wrong ideas, make better decisions on new questions, and grow as Christians.
