Deep Dive into Systematic Theology by Charles Hodge - Original State of Man
Charles Hodge's theological text examines the original state of humanity, arguing that man was created mature, perfect, and in the image of God, possessing inherent knowledge, righteousness, holiness, and universal dominion. The source contrasts this traditional Protestant view with Roman Catholic and Pelagian doctrines, specifically addressing whether original righteousness was natural or supernatural and whether moral character extends to innate dispositions rather than merely voluntary acts. Furthermore, it defends the scriptural position that death is the penal consequence of sin rather than an inevitable biological necessity built into human creation.
