NOT HOME YET (Review)

"Not Home Yet: How the Renewal of the Earth Fits into God's Plan for the World" - An easy to read, sane, sensible, and terse distillation of a much-neglected teaching of the Bible of which far too many Christians are ignorant - heaven and earth.

This is Biblical Theology at its best, beginning "In the beginning" with Genesis 1 and in the Garden with God's covenant with Adam and the Cultural Mandate, and ending in Revelation 21-22 with God's covenant with the last Adam in the Garden-City with the Great Commission/Cultural Mandate fulfilled in Christ.

Creation and recreation are solidly grounded in the basic Christian belief of "the resurrection of the body" (see Apostles' Creed). Our bodies don't burn up, but our same bodies are renewed, likewise, neither does creation burn up but this same creation is renewed.

Quite a brilliant book that speaks volumes in an economy of words!
