Review of Who Told You That You Were Naked?
[Following is a volunteer review of "Who Told You That You Were Naked?" by William Combs.]
Who Told You That You Were Naked? It is an inspiring book for Christians; it delves into the origin of sin and redemption of human beings through their savior, Jesus Christ. The writer, William E. Combs, a retired Presbyterian minister, explores the inheritance of sin from our first parents, Adam and Eve. The writer admits that human beings are weak creatures and thus prone to temptations. The author uses biblical occurrences to argue his message throughout the book; he uses the book of Genesis from the Old Testament, which talks of sin as the foundation of his artwork.
In the book's first chapter, Adam and Eve are depicted as the leading cause of sin through their disobedience to God. The writer begins to outline the cordial relationship between them and God before their encounter with the serpent. In the subsequent chapters, the author acknowledges that sin is the nature of human beings; he says that Adam and Eve should not take absolute blame. In the third chapter of the book, the author explains the ripple effects of sin and how it affects the lives of Abel and Cain to the extent of enslaving them.
From chapters four onward, the author discusses the journey to redemption in detail. Jesus Christ, the main character in the book, is described as a savior, leading people from hopelessness to reparation. The author describes redemption as a journey fueled by faith, setting humanity free from sin that causes death. The author consistently reminds us that opposition from the devil is always expected and, thus, the need to counter it appropriately through self-sacrifice.
I liked the book's title; it captures the reader's attention and goes ahead to conform to it. The title's use of the word "naked" alludes to how humanity became estranged from God, leaving them vulnerable to sin and suffering. There is an efficient flow of events in the book, covering the connection between sin and suffering, the persistence of the devil in human life, and God's grace, which is full of compassion and forgiveness.
I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. The book uses grammatically correct sentences with simple English, which can be easily understood by somebody with a basic understanding of English. The book accurately and precisely quotes the Bible, making it suitable for the Christian context it targets. I recommend this book to all Christians and theologians who want to understand the origin of sin and the redemption of humanity.
