“Works of Men’s Hands”

Pastor John,

I am right now translating the tract about “Works”*, and I paused where you’re listing the kinds of works found in the Bible.

At “Works of men’s hands” your description says “buildings, highways, industries, and other human accomplishments”. I did a quick search, so maybe it wasn’t thorough enough, but the only references I’ve found in the Bible on “works on men’s hands” talks about false gods made from wood, silver, gold, etc. When talking about these idols, the Bible uses the phrase “works of men’s hands”. I didn’t find any references on the things you list in your description though.

Was your intention to demonstrate what works of men’s hands can mean in today’s society? Just wanted to clarify that.

Thank you.

Yes, that is right.  But you can put “churches, statues, religious utensils, and the like” if you want to.  That might actually be more appropriate to the case.
