What was God's purpose in creating man? One objective was the reclaiming of the earth from the effects of the disharmony' that had been introduced through the fall of Satan. Man was to be involved in the
moral confrontation between the power of God and the devil. The first Adam failed in this but God's purpose was renewed in the Second Adam. Through him man can regain his royal commission as king of
the earth. Eric Sauer's clear and lucid treatment of this immense theme touches also on such important subjects as: a personal devil, proofs of the existence of God, the various interpretations of the creation
narrative and the theory of evolution. Although in no way a systematic theology, the book raises many doctrinal issues and never moves far from the Bible.
