Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book addresses the inadequacies of widely held Christian beliefs, particularly concerning the importance of Christianity and the nature of human beings. It begins by arguing that most professed Christians have an insufficient grasp of the significance of their faith. The author claims they treat it as a collection of mere morality or simple religion, rather than acknowledging its profound and exclusive claims on their lives and behaviors. The book then turns to the topic of human nature, challenging the notion that humans are fundamentally pure and only occasionally prone to lapses in virtue. Drawing on a wide range of evidence, from ancient pagan societies to modern civilized nations, the author argues that the depravity of man is a fundamental and pervasive reality. Through introspection and the study of history, the book demonstrates the extent to which human beings are inclined towards selfishness, violence, and moral failure. The author concludes by emphasizing the profound implications of this understanding of human nature for our comprehension of Christianity.
