QuotationInteresting notes on New Testament anthropology in Werner Georg Kümmel [Man in the New Testament, trans. John J. Vincent, 1963]. I don't agree with his general thesis that man by nature has nothing whatever to dispose him for grace and life with God (no "image," "spirit," etc.). However, here and there profound meanings emerge. Especially in meaning of sin and man's "boasting" before God.
