Synopsis

Think of it! God's revelation, the Bible, records that the magnificent, omnipotent, eternally self-existent One, Who was before there was a beginning, or time, or space, or anything, has chosen to make Himself known. This God, Who fills all things, yet is contained by none, Who exists within eternity, yet is greater than eternity, has stepped from eternity into time. His intention? To reveal, not just His characteristics, qualities or attributes, but His identity -- Who He is -- and how we can relate to Him. His revelation? The astounding reality that He is One, a Singular Being, yet a union of three persons -- Father, Son and Holy Spirit -- and that He, as Father, invites His children, the Son's disciples, through the intimate presence of the Holy Spirit in their lives, to share in and experience the profound intimacy of Their union. Why is did God - what is it that necessitated His stepping from eternity into time? One of the primary answers to that question is found in the title of this book: The Total Depravity Of Man. Powerfully Written! An Excellent, Exciting Exposition of the Word of God! Pink explores and explains this little-understood, oft confused, yet intriguing biblical truth: For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. Romans 5:6. This book - The Total Depravity Of Man -- introduces and orients the reader to critical biblical/theological thinking -- with a clarity that fosters biblical thought and facilitates Bible comprehension.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The doctrine of total depravity is a very humbling one. It is not that man leans to one side and needs propping up, nor that he is merely ignorant and requires instructing, nor that he is run down and calls for a tonic; but rather that he is undone, lost, spiritually dead. Consequently, he is "without strength," thoroughly incapable of bettering himself; he is exposed to the wrath of God, and unable to perform a single work which can find acceptance with Him. Almost every page of the Bible bears witness to this truth. The whole scheme of redemption takes it for granted. The plan of salvation taught in the Scriptures could have no place on any other supposition. The impossibility of any man's gaining the approbation of God by works of his own appears plainly in the case of the rich young ruler who came to Christ. Judged by human standards, he was a model of virtue and religious attainments. Yet, like all others who trust in self-efforts, he was ignorant of the spirituality and strictness of God's law; when Christ put him to the test his fair expectations were blown to the winds and "he went away sorrowful" (Matt. 19:22). It is therefore a most unpalatable doctrine. It cannot be otherwise, for the unregenerate love to hear of the greatness, the dignity, the nobility of man. The natural man thinks highly of himself and appreciates only that which is flattering. Nothing pleases him more than to listen to that which extols human nature and lauds the state of mankind, even though it be in terms which not only repudiate the teaching of God's Word but are flatly contradicted by common observation and universal experience. And there are many who pander to him by their lavish praises of the excellency of civilization and the steady progress of the race. Hence, to have the lie given to the popular theory of evolution is highly displeasing to its deluded votaries. Nevertheless, the duty of God's servants is to stain the pride of all that man glories in, to strip him of his stolen plumes, to lay him low in the dust before God. However repugnant such teaching is, God's emissary must faithfully discharge his duty "whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear" (Ezek. 3:11).
