In For Us and for Our Salvation, N. Gray Sutanto provides a comprehensive study of humanity created and fallen. Sutanto begins with biblical-theological foundations, then provides a dogmatic synthesis and application to contemporary issues like gender, sexuality, and race.
This is a fresh and thorough investigation of what it means to be human and our need for Christ's redemption, written from a confessionally Reformed perspective in dialogue with the historical authorities of the church.
*** We Believeis a series of eight studies on the primary doctrines of the Christian faith as confessed in the Nicene Creed and received in the Reformed tradition. The series title is drawn from the first words of the creed, which introduce what has become the classic confession of the Christian faith. Series volumes examine the biblical foundations of the church's faith, trace its development (especially in the Reformed tradition), and apply its truths to the worship, life, and mission of the church today.
What does it mean to be created in the image of God? Where did sin come from? Does everyone know in their heart that there is a God? How are we saved?
These are just some of the questions that are answered in this book.
Written to be understood by even a layman, this book takes us through the fall and redemption of man. It is packed full of prooftexts and quotes from theologians throughout history.
The information is both deep and understandable
I always love a great Bibliography! Each chapter has a Farther Reading section.
Even as a midsize book, there is still a thoroughness.
