Christianity: Nature of Man, The

What does it mean to be human?

We are made from dust—and yet bear the image of God. We are capable of extraordinary love and staggering cruelty. We long for truth, yet wander into deception. In a world filled with confusion about identity, purpose, and worth, The Nature of Man invites readers to rediscover who we truly are—and why that matters.

Rooted in Scripture and written in a poetic, reflective style, this book traces the story of humanity from Eden to eternity. It explores our original design, the fracture of sin, the pull of pride, the ache of forgetfulness, and the relentless grace of God who refuses to let us go. Drawing on themes from Genesis, Psalms, the prophets, the teachings of Jesus, and the writings of Paul, each chapter reveals another layer of what it means to be human in a fallen yet redeemable world.

Along the way, readers will encounter the tension between flesh and spirit, the role of memory and forgetfulness in our downfall, the seductive appeal of false gods, and the cosmic plan of God to reclaim what was lost. From Babel’s scattering to Pentecost’s gathering, from the first Adam to the second, from shame to glory—this book helps make sense of the story we are all still living.

Each chapter closes with reflection questions and a prayer, making this book ideal for personal study or group discussion. It is both honest and hopeful, challenging and encouraging—a guide for those who want to better understand themselves, their Creator, and their calling.

We are not what we once were.
But by God’s grace, we are not what we will one day be.
