good book
I think this book is okay - not outstanding - not poor - just okay. At one point Pyne seems to be arguing a point I would disagree with... He states that one does does not need to 'naturally sin,' but that we are morally inclined to sin... I would argue from Scripture the opposite. Romans indicates that we all have an original sin nature imputed to us through Adam, therefore anything we do without faith is sin (Rom 14:23). Gandhi demonstrated that it is possible for man to live morally apart from faith, but Rom 14:23 clearly shows that apart from faith in God's revelation (i.e. Christ) then anything one does - however morally upright - is sin.

Overall the book is a good presentation of hamartiology, but Pyne's theology seems to be a little off in a couple of places in my humble opinion.

Innovative but accurate treatment of Imagio Dei
Excellent treatment of man's purpose and destiny. Exegesis is excellent, and clear. Especially thought provoking is linking of Imagio Dei to glory. Implications of theology well thought out, and stimulating. A must read for theologians, pastors and laymen alike

A good resource for Hamartiology
or..the study of sin.

If you want thought-provoking answers to life's most probing questions from a biblical perspective, read this book.
