For Christians today, discussing the doctrine of sin is a task fraught with pitfalls and challenges. Maintaining a balance between God's love and holiness is only part of the job. Christians must also grapple with a postmodern relativism that often transforms sin into merely an illness or a mistake.
Al Truesdale masterfully undergirds the discussion of sin with the assurance of God's self-giving love in Christ. At a time when God has been jettisoned from the consciousness of many, Truesdale asserts that sin must be discussed with reference to God. Not only is sin an offense against God and neighbor, but it is also overcome only by God's redemptive grace working through forgiveness and reconciliation. After articulating the nature of sin, Truesdale guides the reader to an understanding of Christ's victory and the life of holiness.
