Corruption

Langerak provides a comprehensive theological analysis of corruption as a fundamental degenerative power affecting all creation, tracing its origin to Satan's fall and Adam's sin, and connecting this doctrine to the Reformed understanding of total depravity. Drawing extensively from Scripture and the Belgic Confession and Canons of Dort, he demonstrates how corruption operates across multiple dimensions—physical, moral, and spiritual—as the consequence of humanity's separation from God. This article offers a systematic exegetical treatment of how the bondage of corruption described in Romans 8:21 penetrates and corrupts human nature in its entirety.
