Christian View of Man
Greshem Machen

Man is made by God, in His image, for His glory. This truth, with all its implications, is the theme of Gresham Machen's popular presentation of The Christian View of Man. It explains how the Bible serves as a mirror to show us who we are.

Designed for Dignity
What God has Made it Possible for You To Be

Richard L. Pratt, Jr

Today millions of people believe that humans are merely evolved "animals." Other voices cry out, "We are divine." Meanwhile we continually hear the modern mantra of "self-esteem." In the midst of these contradictory and erroneous teachings, Designed for Dignity presents a refreshingly Scriptural view of mankind. Each of the ten chapters ends with a concluding summary, review questions, and discussion exercises, which makes this book ideal for group as well as individual study.

The Bondage of the Will
Martin Luther 

If you only have the time and/or inclination to read one book on Reformation theology, this is the book to choose. Luther hits the major topics through his discussion of a key issue and manages to speak derisively about his opponents at the same time. This is no dry theology text--not at all. Luther's prose drips with subtle sarcasm and wit--and he expounds his topic simultaneously.

The Freedom of the Will
Johnathan Edwards
 
Deeply concerned with the harmful influence of Arminianism within the colonies of New England, America's greatest theologian gave himself late in life to the writing of this masterful treatise. Employing the weapons of philosophy and theology, Edwards persuasively dismantled a view of God and man which is still held by multitudes in our day. Toward the latter portion of his treatise a very helpful discussion of the five points of Calvinism is offered along with a refutation of Arminian views.

Human Nature in its Fourfold State
Thomas Boston
In Boston's most famous work he expounds the biblical teaching on the four different "states" of man's relationship with God - innocence, sin, grace, and glory. So basic is his material, and so thorough his presentation of it, that this book speaks to the spiritual needs of every reader. For those who ask about the origin and meaning of human existence, Boston provides the biblical answer; for those who are confused about the biblical gospel, Boston explains its meaning and power.

Our Accountability to God
A.W. Pink

To appreciate the amazing grace of God we must understand all that we have been forgiven. Bible scholar Arthur Pink helps us see our true condition, driving home the truth of the Gospel. Readers will develop a more personal appreciation for God's grace and a deeper reverence for His boundless love.

Imputation of Adam's Sin
John Murray
  
The description and transmission of some disease is regularly found in the news. Yet there is a fatal disease about which many are woefully ignorant. Professor Murray will help you to understand the relationship Adam sustained with the entire human race and the consequence of his sin.
