Paul Helm breaks fertile ground in this survey of theological anthropology in the Reformed tradition.

Addressing topics like the relation of body and soul, faculty psychology, and moral agency, Helm develops a compelling picture of Reformed thought on human nature that is sure to encourage more studies on this topic for years to come.Read less
