The Glory of Man

In The Glory of Man, Peter J. Leithart responds to the sexual confusion of our age by developing an exegetical, biblical theology of the sexes that insists on sexual difference, hierarchy, and reconciliation as symbols of God's purposes to sum and unite all things in Christ. In this Explorations volume, Leithart examines the creation of the Woman in Genesis 2, showing how ancient Greek philosophers misunderstood the categories of male and female when compared to the ways in which the Bible portrays a humanity, creation, and sacrifice ordered by male and female symbols. The Theopolis Explorations Series builds on the four volumes of the Theopolis Fundamentals Series. Each Explorations volume brings the Theopolitan vision to bear on a particular biblical, liturgical, cultural, or missional topic. Theopolis Explorations are well-researched but not academic, elegantly but not popularly written, thorough but not exhaustive. The authors do not claim to speak the final word on the issues they examine, but aspire to offer a helpful word to strengthen and embolden the church as she carries on the mission of King Jesus in today’s world.
