Et pourtant, nous connaissons tous des personnes qui nous ont fait du mal ou qui en ont fait à d’autres. Nous avons nous-mêmes commis des actes répréhensibles. Dans ce petit livre, R. C. Sproul explique comment nous sommes devenus moralement corrompus et à quel point notre corruption est profonde. Nous ne faisons pas seulement des erreurs, nous péchons contre un Dieu saint.
