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. It explains, for Christians and non-Christians alike, how the Bible serves as a mirror to show us who we are. In simple yet careful language, Machen deals with such subjects as creation, man as the image of God, the fall, sin, God's providence and care, and God's restoring grace.
The question: What is Man? which arose centuries ago in the Psalms, remains one of the most vital issues faced by twentieth-century man. Bewildered by technological advance, alienated from the con
victions and life-style of his forefathers, western man has lost his place in the universe. The echoes of his bewilderment can be heard everywhere, from the city graffiti to the pop-songs, subcultures and new religions of our time.
Yet there is an answer to man's identity crisis. 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, for Christians and non-Christians alike, how the Bible serves as a mirror to show us who we are. In simple yet careful language, Machen deals with such subjects as creation, man as God's image, the fall, sin, God's providence and care, and God's restoring grace. J. Gresham Machen was an outstanding New Testament scholar and the founder of Westminster Theological Seminary, Phila
delphia, U.S.A. The Christian View of Man contains a series of broadcast addresses first published in 1937 (the year of his death). It continues to speak movingly and forcefully to the needs of contemporary man.
