This month we celebrate our 25th Anniversary - We Thank the Lord for You.

We are delighted that you use the free resources available at Monergism. Our mission is to provide open access to scripturally sound and theologically rich Christian literature, ensuring cost is never a barrier to building a robust Christian library. While these resources are free to all, sustaining this ministry requires funding.

Last year, over 1 million new visitors accessed our resources. Given that less than 1% of readers donate, we humbly ask you to consider supporting this ministry. If everyone reading this gave just $5, we could meet our 2024 budget in no time.

Every contribution makes a difference - whether it's a monthly gift of $20 or a one-time donation of $10, $25, $100, or more. You can also read our business plan to see how your gifts are used to further this mission.

What is Man?: A Study in Biblical Anthropology (eBook)

by Wilhelmus à Brakel

in ePub, .mobi & .pdf formats

"What is Man?" is a helpful exploration of biblical anthropology by Wilhelmus à Brakel, drawn from his larger work, "The Christian's Reasonable Service." This book explores the nature and condition of humanity as understood through a biblical/theological lens, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of human beings.

Throughout the book, Brakel covers various aspects of human existence, including the fall of Adam, the effects of original sin, the consequences of personal sin, human depravity, and the need for redemption through Christ. He paints a vivid picture of the human condition, emphasizing the moral and spiritual challenges faced by individuals.

Readers will find Brakel's book to be a deeply pastoral guide to understanding the nature of humanity and its relationship with God. It offers insights into the biblical view of human sinfulness and our dependence on Christ. This is a valuable resource for those seeking to deepen their understanding of Christian theology and the human experience.
