A new look at the new creation

Revisado: 04-22-24

The best inspiring explanation of the cross I have ever heard ! Engaging , provoking and challenging! I am thankful to Tom Wright for highlighting how Jesus intended for His crucifixion to be understood by the story of the Passover. Wright made it very clear to me that the new creation began with the resurrection of Jesus and everything else flows out from His resurrection. Wright’s explaining of the new creation is such a fresh approach compared to the limited view so many have told in the past. His emphasis on the original vocation of Adam and Eve being “royal priesthood “ is then brought out as God’s purpose in sending Jesus to put the rulership of the earth (royal priesthood)back into human authority thru Jesus’ resurrection . Knowing that thru Jesus we are called to be “royal priesthood “also,clarifies our vocational role. Showing how surrendering our authority to idols gave away our God given role as “royal priests” was a new insight for sure. Wright is full of wonderful surprises .The old creation’s Adam handed over his authority to idols but the new creation’s Adam restored it to mankind through the resurrection.

Man’s vocation

Revisado: 01-05-24

Very clear presentation of Jesus as priest and king. Excellent highlight in Romans Chapter eight of how we are joined into Jesus’ vocation (co-ruling with Him)and share with Him the inheritance of this world. This is a very convincing interpretation of Rom. 5-8 as seen by Paul as stepping thru “New Exodus and Passover “. Inspiring look at what it means to be a fully developed “human”-fulfilling the priestly and ruling role of mankind created in God’s image.

Chesterton is stunning in his scope and outline of the history of man !!!

Revisado: 08-12-22

Chesterton style is at once arresting and picturesque. No one has covered the entire history of man so engagingly for me as in this book. Even though his information is not up to date with current discoveries,the way he deals with the world religions is very thought provoking. This book is a gem!!

Let the Bible be itself.

Revisado: 08-03-22

Pete helps us to read the Bible without us forcing a presupposed idea of what it says. He is honest and transparent. I don’t need to force a previously received interpretation upon the Bible but let it be God inspired through human frailties,just as we are expected to understand Jesus as God enfleshed with His human frailties. Excellent insights and truly thought provoking!!

Love as the guide to following Christ.

Revisado: 07-26-22

I believe this book will help many Christians navigate the uncomfortable decisions surrounding loving people and speaking truth to them. Very helpful in thinking through modern dilemmas that are not immediately clear in scriptures.

Wonderful guidance

Revisado: 07-06-22

Brian has done a great service for Christians that struggle with fundamental upbringing and still believe in the resurrected Jesus Christ-he very inspiringly gives guidance in how to be grounded and established in a personal revelation of Jesus Christ that will navigate us through “this present darkness “ until we are are dwelling in the “Father’s House of Love”-thank you Brian for this wonderful gift. Very insightful history both secular and religious-especially regarding the enlightenment,modernity and post modernity. Coverage of kierkegaard and Nietzsche very helpful in understanding the challenges that caused the “battle for the Bible” issues that then helped develop “fundamentalism”.

A better approach to reading the Bible.

Revisado: 06-12-22

Excellent,clear presentation of how the books of the Bible came into existence and the cultural background that is necessary to read these books fairly. No doubt many thoughts presented here will be challenging to people ,but it is well worth the listen.
