Chapters

Steve DeWitt discusses the distinctions between aloneness, loneliness, and solitude, emphasizing that loneliness is a part of the human condition after the fall and not a sin.
  • Aloneness is neutral, loneliness is bad, and solitude is good.
  • Loneliness is not a sin but part of the human condition after the fall.
  • Marriage does not guarantee solitude; it was created to solve Adam's aloneness.
