Man is not self-created, self-owned, or self-explaining. He was made by God, formed from the dust, given life by the breath of God, created male and female, entrusted with dominion, called to worship, and placed under divine command. Human dignity begins there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut Scripture does not flatter man. It also reveals the ruin brought by sin. Through Adam's disobedience, sin entered the world, and death by sin. Shame, fear, guilt, corruption, bondage, idolatry, disordered desire, pride, unbelief, and judgment all follow from the fall. Man remains an image-bearer, but he is a fallen image-bearer. He is still accountable before God, yet unable to redeem himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume examines major biblical themes including: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe image and likeness of God \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe sanctity of human life \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMale and female created by God \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody, soul, spirit, conscience, worship, and moral accountability \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe serpent, temptation, and the fall of man \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShame, fear, curse, death, guilt, and judgment \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal sin and Adam's headship \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe corruption of human nature \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSin as bondage \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe flesh, the world, and the devil \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommon grace and the restraint of evil \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe image of God after the fall \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChrist as the last Adam \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew creation and restoration in Christ \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten from the conviction that \u003cstrong\u003eScripture defines Scripture\u003c\/strong\u003e, this book develops doctrine from the whole counsel of God rather than forcing the Bible into a man-made system.
