God at Work: Creation Then and Now - A Practical Exploration - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

ention the beginning of Genesis and it is easy to get side-tracked into what did and didn't happen at the creation of the universe. Fascinating though the scientific questions are, they are far from being the only consideration; what the first chapters of the Bible give us is a picture of God at work in his world and a key to sharing in that work today. Here we can discern the mind of God for his world. We can find motivation for becoming involved in the struggle for his will and his rule; learn how to regard the power-systems of this world and why we must stand alongside the disadvantaged. Here our imaginative abilities are inspired and our intellects aroused, and here we learn the meaning of true worship. Above all, engaging with these chapters will reveal to us the essential nature of God, who, in the manger and on the cross, shows us where he can be found on earth. John Davies' remarkable skills in opening up the biblical text to find its direct relevance to life today will lead us into a fresh, stimulating and deeply challenging understanding of our origins, identity and purpose.
