What If Being Human Isn’t the Problem—but the Point?

Many Christians have been taught to see themselves as fundamentally broken—with a human nature defined by sin, separated from God, and constantly striving to be worthy. They have been taught that being human is something to overcome—that their deepest instincts, emotions, and desires are untrustworthy. But what if that’s not the whole story? What if God is inviting us to see our humanity as, in fact, very good news?

In The Gospel of Being Human, Marty Solomon (host of the BEMA podcast) and Reed Dent invite you on a journey of curiosity, attention, and wonder—asking better questions about who we really are and what Scripture actually says about our identity. As you go to God’s Word to explore ten common perspectives about sin, salvation, and our relationship with God, you’ll discover a more expansive and hopeful vision of what it means to be created in His image.

If you’ve ever felt like your faith was missing something—or wondered whether God’s good news is bigger than you’ve been told—The Gospel of Being Human offers an invitation to step into a fuller, richer understanding of who God has always intended you to be.

I fell asleep in his first book (sorry Marty) but this is compiled in such a loving, compassionate way. It says everything I try to gently explain to others but without my sharp and judgmental edge that gets in the way. Thank you for this written legacy.

So good, so, so good.

I love this book. The authors ask good questions of the Bible and lay out a very logical premise that even before creation, God knew every bit of the flaws and brokenness that would be inherent in our human nature, and decided we were worth it. My favorite part is in chapter 6. “God gets angry, but at his heart is an unquenchable mercy that sees each wicked human fully for who they are and ultimately insists on pity. His anger is for a moment, but his steadfast love endures forever.”

Such a comforting perspective!

The book does a great job to help us from just digging deeper in theology, and to start considering what we are to God.

Great for taking a spiritual breath
