Discover the timeless classic that explores the depths of human nature and divine grace. In "Human Nature in Its Fourfold State," Scottish Puritan Thomas Boston takes readers on a profound journey through the four states of human existence: (a) Primitive Integrity, (b) Entire Depravity, (c) Begun Recovery, and (d) Consummate Happiness or Misery.Drawing from Scripture and building upon the insights of Augustine of Hippo, Boston expertly explores the progression of man's relationship with sin. Each state corresponds to a distinct phase: from the innocence of pre-Fall humanity, through the fallen state of natural man, to the regenerated individual, and ultimately to the glorified state.Throughout this insightful work, Boston emphasizes the voluntary nature of man's choices, highlighting the pivotal role played by his own will. While the glorified man's inclination is always towards good and the glorification of God, the fallen man's motives are tainted, leading him to perpetually choose evil.The book is divided into four parts, encompassing various aspects of human existence: (I) The State of Innocence, (II) The State of Nature, (III) The State of Grace, and (IV) The Eternal State. From the sinfulness and corruption of man's natural state to the transformative power of regeneration and mystical union, Boston guides readers through the profound implications of each stage. He concludes with a thought-provoking exploration of death, resurrection, judgment, and the ultimate destinies of the righteous and the wicked."Human Nature in Its Fourfold State" is a timeless masterpiece that offers deep insights into the human condition, grace, and the eternal state. Whether you seek a better understanding of human nature or desire to explore the transformative power of divine grace, this book is a must-read for those on a spiritual quest.

Heidegger’s later thought is a thinking of things, so argues Andrew J. Mitchell in The Fourfold. Heidegger understands these things in terms of what he names “the fourfold”—a convergence of relationships bringing together the earth, the sky, divinities, and mortals—and Mitchell’s book is the first detailed exegesis of this neglected aspect of Heidegger’s later thought. As such it provides entrée to the full landscape of Heidegger’s postwar thinking, offering striking new interpretations of the atomic bomb, technology, plants, animals, weather, time, language, the holy, mortality, dwelling, and more. What results is a conception of things as ecstatic, relational, singular, and, most provocatively, as intrinsically tied to their own technological commodification. A major new work that resonates beyond the confines of Heidegger scholarship, The Fourfold proposes nothing less than a new phenomenological thinking of relationality and mediation for understanding the things around us.

Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize winner, Chair of The Elders, and Chair of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, along with his daughter, the Reverend Mpho Tutu, offer a manual on the art of forgiveness—helping us to realize that we are all capable of healing and transformation. Tutu's role as the Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission taught him much about forgiveness. If you asked anyone what they thought was going to happen to South Africa after apartheid, almost universally it was predicted that the country would be devastated by a comprehensive bloodbath. Yet, instead of revenge and retribution, this new nation chose to tread the difficult path of confession, forgiveness, and reconciliation. Each of us has a deep need to forgive and to be forgiven. After much reflection on the process of forgiveness, Tutu has seen that there are four important steps to healing: Admitting the wrong and acknowledging the harm; Telling one's story and witnessing the anguish; Asking for forgiveness and granting forgiveness; and renewing or releasing the relationship. Forgiveness is hard work. Sometimes it even feels like an impossible task. But it is only through walking this fourfold path that Tutu says we can free ourselves of the endless and unyielding cycle of pain and retribution. The Book of Forgiving is both a touchstone and a tool, offering Tutu's wise advice and showing the way to experience forgiveness. Ultimately, forgiving is the only means we have to heal ourselves and our aching world.
