Every person carries assumptions about human nature — what we're worth, what's wrong with us, and whether we can fix our-selves. Scripture answers these questions directly, and the answers are not what the world expects. Man Fallen is the third volume in the Pillars series, written to ground readers in the biblical doctrines of Anthropology and Hamartiology - the study of man and the study of sin.
 
This volume moves through two parts: first, who man is - created directly by God, made in His image, body and soul together, given original righteousness and purpose before the fall. Then, what went wrong — Adam's first sin and his role as federal head of humanity, the guilt and corruption that spread to every person, the darkened mind, the corrupted will, disordered affections, the reality of death, and man's total inability to save himself apart from grace.
 
Together, these doctrines answer questions every person eventually asks: why do I fall short? Why does the world feel broken? And why can't I fix it on my own? Scripture's answer is sobering - but it sets up the only good news that can follow.
Written clearly and accessibly by Pastor William Newton, Man Fallen is ideal for believers who want a clear-eyed understanding of sin and grace, for small group studies, and for anyone wrestling honestly with the human condition.
 
See yourself as Scripture sees you - and find hope on the other side of that truth.
