Fall and Redemption of Conscience

Conscience from creation to new creation.


The God who created conscience is Father, Son, and Spirit. Thus, conscience is properly understood in relation to our Triune God and his work in the world―the Father's creation, the Son's redemption, and the Spirit's perfection.


In The Fall and Redemption of Conscience, Andrea Ferrari explores conscience in Trinitarian and redemptive-historical contexts. Ferrari draws from Scripture and theologians of the past―particularly John Calvin and John Webster―to build a comprehensive theology of the human experience in relation to God. Conscience is a covenantal awareness and vocational responsiveness. As such, conscience is how we recognize our lives and responsibilities as created and redeemed beings in covenant with God. The book includes a foreword by Paul T. Nimmo.
