The Origin, Essence, and Purpose of Man

"The creation of man rests on deliberation, on Divine wisdom and goodness and omnipotence."



Purpose of Man is a theological treatise on the topic of anthropology. Bavinck begins at the account of creation, and proceeds to the pact of redemption which involved the Son of Man himself who had fulfilled the covenant of works with the Father.
