Description
What does it mean to be human before God? The Bible provides two very different answers: on the one hand, we are weak, fallen creatures whom God has saved, redeemed from sin and death; on the other hand, we are images of God’s dominion over all creation. The first, the “saving tradition,” is very familiar; the second, the “blessing tradition,” with its distinct but overlapping strands of creation, royal, and wisdom thought, is currently being recovered. What are we to make of these? How are they to be interrelated? What are their implications for the spiritual life? This book seeks to hear and respect the biblical diversity represented by these two traditions and to consider their impact on our relationship to the world, to others, to ourselves, and to God.
