Synopsis

This 19th-century book explores the theological debate surrounding the concept of Native Depravity. The author, a staunch advocate for the doctrine, argues that all humans are born with a proclivity for sin, citing biblical passages that describe humanity as wicked, estranged from God, and deserving of wrath. Central to the book's argument is the idea that sin is an inherent part of human nature, rather than a result of external factors or lack of knowledge. The author challenges the notion that infants are innocent, positing that even the youngest children possess a moral consciousness and are capable of wrongdoing. Throughout the book, the author delves into the scriptural basis for Native Depravity, examining passages from the Old and New Testaments that seem to support the doctrine. They also address objections and counterarguments, emphasizing the importance of recognizing the innate sinfulness of humanity in order to fully understand the need for redemption. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the doctrine of Native Depravity, providing a valuable contribution to theological discourse on the nature of sin and humanity's relationship with God.
