Writing the City
Author: Peter Preston
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134843674
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 634
Book Description
`The expression of human experience it embodies ... includes all personal history'. Saul Bellow's view of the city is far from that of classic geographical descriptions which look at growth or decline, demographic patterns, traffic flows and economic potential: these empirically conceived models of urban geography fail to accommodate the crucial human aspect of city life. Located at the interface of geography and literature, Writing the City visualizes the city through the hopes, aspirations, disappointments and pains of international novelists and creative writers. From Manchester, Montreal and Sydney to Osaka, Varanasi amd Odessa, cities become more than their built environment, more than a set of class or economic relationships: they are also an experience to be lived, suffered and undergone. Thus cities are seen in terms of the innocence of an Eden now lost, a threat of sinful Babylon and the promise of a New Jerusalem.

From Land to Lands, from Eden to the Renewed Earth
Author: Munther Isaac
Publisher: Langham Publishing
ISBN: 1783680938
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 427
Book Description
The land is an important theme in the Bible. It is a theme through which the whole biblical history found in the Old and New Testaments can be studied and analyzed. Looking at the land in the Bible from its beginnings in the garden of Eden this publication approaches the theme from three distinct perspectives – holiness, the covenant, and the kingdom. Through careful analysis the author recognises that the land has been universalized in Christ, as anticipated in the Old Testament, and as a result promotes a missional theology of the land that underlines the social and territorial dimensions of redemption.

Return to the Garden of Eden
Author: Thaddeus Kedziora
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1490893946
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
Return to the Garden of Eden is dedicated to refuting the unbiblical error of Replacement Theology, which supposes that God has spiritually replaced Israel with the Church. The problem with this understanding is, if God replaced Israel, who was promised an everlasting possession of land, then what good is His promise of an everlasting salvation to the Church. This book concentrates on the multitude of verses in scripture, which indicate that the national restoration of Israel is an absolute imperative. It demonstrates that Israels existence today was not only predicted, but necessary for Christ to return to earth, just as He said He would. This book illuminates the fact that Israel being a nation in our time, is a miracle to be witnessed by we Christians, and a comfort and encouragement that God always keeps his word literally, not allegorically.

Redemptive Kingdom Diversity
Author: Jarvis J. Williams
Publisher: Baker Academic
ISBN: 1493432605
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
This book provides a comprehensive biblical and theological survey of the people of God in the Old and New Testaments, offering insights for today's transformed and ethnically diverse church. Jarvis Williams explains that God's people have always been intended to be a diverse community. From Genesis to Revelation, God has intended to restore humanity's vertical relationship with God, humanity's horizontal relationship with one another, and the entire creation through Jesus. Through Jesus, both Jew and gentile are reconciled to God and together make up a transformed people. Williams then applies his biblical and theological analysis to selected aspects of the current conversation about race, racism, and ethnicity, explaining what it means to be the church in today's multiethnic context. He argues that the church should demonstrate redemptive kingdom diversity, for it has been transformed into a new community that is filled with many diverse ethnic communities.
