Calvin Miller in poetic prose weaves his own spin on the creation of man and man's subsequent fall. Within the sometimes incredibly poignant and lyrical lines he writes there is much theology to be digested. Perhaps the most challenging and indeed enjoyable bits of this read is the way Calvin Miller examines man.
