Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The church has gone quiet about sin. The world has renamed it. A shallow view of sin has left us with a shallow view of grace.Most books on sin tell you part of the story - the guilt, or the list of vices, or the call to repent. SIN walks the whole arc, the one no single volume quite delivers: what sin is, where it came from, how far it reaches, the wound it leaves even after forgiveness, and the only answer that finally undoes it.With rigor for the scholar and warmth for the weary, Rev. Dr. Billy J. Hill traces sin from the vocabulary of Scripture itself - the missed mark, the broken covenant, the crookedness that carries its own consequence - and follows it as it spreads from the human heart into the household, the society, and the very systems we build. He faces the truth few books will name: that forgiveness is total and free and real, and yet it does not always reverse the damage a forgiven sin has done. David was pardoned, and the sword still came. Manasseh repented, and the exile still came. Moses was forgiven and still did not enter the land.The tape that we cannot rewind, God took upon Himself. At the cross He bears the iniquity; in the resurrection He heals a scarred history without erasing it; by His Spirit He breaks sin's power and gives His people daily victory; and at the last He makes all things new, in a creation where there is no more curse.It is a book about sin. It is, from first to last, a book about grace - and it ends not at the grave, but at the throne, with the Lamb who was slain and lives.Includes a full lexicon of the Hebrew and Greek vocabulary of sin, a canonical survey, a discussion guide for the academy, the pulpit, and the pew, a personal word for the one still bearing the wound of a forgiven sin, and "The Daily War" - seven marks of walking in victory over sin.Excellence-in-Christ is our only standard.
