Christian View of Man

The question "What is man?", which arose from the Psalms many centuries ago, remains one of the most vital questions confronting humanity today.

Perplexed by technological progress and alienated from the convictions and lifestyle of his ancestors, modern man has lost his place in the universe. The echo of his bewilderment can be heard everywhere, from street graffiti to rock songs, as well as in the subcultures and new religions of our time.

And yet there is an answer to this identity crisis. Man was created by God, in His image, for His glory. This truth, with all its implications, constitutes the theme of Gresham Machen's popular presentation on a Christian View of Man. It explains, to both Christians and non-Christians, how the Bible is like a mirror that shows us who we are. In simple yet careful language, Machen addresses topics such as creation, the image of God, the fall, sin, God's providence and care, as well as His restorative grace.
