From land to lands, from Eden to the renewed earth

a Christ-centred biblical theology of the Promised Land

  • 1 Want to read

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 recognizes 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.
