Publisher's Description
What is a human? Why does it matter? In a world of AI, gender-dysphoria, and competing truth claims, cultural confusion abounds. And yet the most important societal and moral questions today depend on how we answer the simple question: What is man? Lenard Tavernelli has written a simple resource to help everyday Christians understand what it means to be human and how this understanding applies to many of the moral issues facing the world today. This brief book helps prepare and equip church leaders and laypeople to have a simple, thoroughly biblical, and thoughtful answer to speak to the questions people all around us are asking. He shows that, ultimately, the answer must be found in a person: Jesus Christ.

“The biggest issues in our day revolve around anthropology—what it means to be human and how human beings can flourish. Therefore, I rejoice to see this clear, concise exploration of the issues by Pastor Tavernelli. With theological depth, historical awareness, and pastoral concern, Pastor Tavernelli provides sound, biblical answers to these questions, speaking to the regular person in the pew. This book will be a wonderful resource for individuals, reading groups, and congregations.”
