Book Synopsis
Based on the belief that the entire Bible holds together as one continuous narrative of the mission of God, Our Journey Back to Eden demonstrates how the literary design of all books of the Bible add to this narrative. Too often, we frame the Gospel in a way that implies that God's plan A didn't work and so he had to resort to plan B. When we look at the Bible that way, there are many aspects of the Old Testament that don't apply or mesh with the New Testament. This work attempts to tie the two parts of our Bible together as it details our journey back to Eden. A journey that centers around a person, Jesus, and His kingdom.
The book is comprised of 1) An Overview of the continuity of Scripture, 2) Chapters that provide context for the specific units of scripture as well as intention statements for each individual book, and 3) reflections of this understanding’s implication for ministry and the Church.
