Nine sessions on where humanity came from, what it means to bear God’s image, how the fall happened, and what sin actually is.
Taught as an adult-education course over the fall of 2015, working through the doctrines of man (anthropology) and sin (hamartiology)—from creation and the image of God, through the fall, to how these doctrines bear on questions argued today. Every session has a full manuscript and an audio recording.
