Overview

What does it mean to be human? Scripture does not leave us without a clear answer: man is a unified person consisting of a material body formed from dust and an immaterial rational soul breathed into him by God Himself (Genesis 2:7). This two-fold constitution is not a philosophical construct but the revealed truth of divine creation, fall, redemption, and consummation. Nature and Person offers a careful, exegetical exploration of human nature and personhood according to biblical revelation. Beginning with the imago Dei (Genesis 1:26-27), the book traces the dignity of the body, the functions of the rational soul, the unity of the person, the effects of sin on both substances, Christ's assumption of full humanity, and the renewal and glorification of the whole person in the resurrection. Written with pastoral sensitivity and theological precision, this volume guards against reductionist errors-materialism, dualism, and trichotomy-while affirming that redemption in Christ restores the image of God in body and soul together. For every Christian who desires to understand human identity according to divine revelation, this work provides a faithful guide to the truth that shapes worship, ethics, counseling, and eschatological hope.
