Five Aspects Theology of Man

Five Aspects Theology of Man is Five Aspects Ministry’s definitive theological statement concerning biblical masculinity in the Bible, which ultimately leads to a clear theology concerning femininity and sexuality as well. This theology of masculinity is based upon the way language is used in Scripture, thus meaning that since God reveals Himself as a Father, Christ as the Son and Bridegroom, Israel as the Wife of God, and the Church as the Bride of Christ, these gendered roles, titles, and ideas actually mean something. Instead of changing the gendered language to conform to our current cultural trends, this theology keenly focuses in on the gendered language and shows how it is foundational to the Biblical Narrative and Orthodox Christianity and how it needs to be clearly articulated and adamantly defended.

The Five Aspects Theology of Man is the essential articulation and the clarion defense of biblical sexuality that the Church is in desperate need of. God created men to be men, and men are called to live as men in their roles as fathers, sons, brothers, husbands, warriors, servants, disciples, priests, leaders, and kings. Masculinity is necessarily different from femininity and all its corresponding roles. Biblical sexuality is the beautiful and complimentary combining of the two. As in all the Five Aspects materials, the teaching on masculinity is organized by the Five Aspects model.

The Five Aspects of Man are: Lord of the Earth, Husbandman, Savior, Sage, and Glory of God. Each aspect is studied three times: as God created it, as sin marred it, and as Christ has and is redeeming it.
