INTRODUCTION TO

•What is Anthropology?
•What is Hamartiology?
•And why is it necessary for us?
An Invitation
The study of anthropology
is vital to the Christian.
John Calvin
“We must now speak of the creation of man, not merely
because he, among all the works of God, is the most
notable example of the Creator’s justice, wisdom, and
goodness, but because, as we have already said, we can
have no clear and real knowledge of God without some
corresponding knowledge of ourselves…
1. God exists
2. God has revealed Himself in the
Scriptures
B. Significance of Anthropology
“Again, it is certain that man never achieves a
clear knowledge of himself unless he first
looked upon God's face, and then descends
from contemplating him to scrutinize himself.”
