Offense to Reason : A Theology of Sin

This book takes as its main thesis: (1) the Christian doctrine of sin is offensive to the reason and repelled by the intelligentsia and academia; (2) without this doctrine of sin much of human life and history remains forever opaque; (3) with it a shaft of light is cast upon personal existence, social existence, and the course of history, giving clarity that nothing else in the religions, nor the philosophies, of the world can provide.

Bernard L. Ramm (1916-1992) was a prolific and respected evangelical scholar and writer of his generation. He taught at several seminaries, including the Bible Institute of Los Angeles, California Baptist Theological Seminary, Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary, and the American Baptist Theological Seminary of the West. He also worked with a number of organizations, including Young Life and World Vision
