When this book was begun in late November 2013, the intent was to write a commentary on chapter five of Paul's letter to the church at Ephesus. But about fifty pages into that endeavor, it became clear that the book was not going in that direction. For one thing, his letter to that church had not even been mentioned in those pages.

Simultaneously, a development of the twin themes of God’s attributes of transcendence and immanence is an appropriate starting point not just for theology proper ...

When the psalmist penned these words from King Solomon in Psalm 127:3-4 (NLT), "Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him..." the Israelites understood the essence of the meaning as a song of worship that they would sing on their pilgrimage to the Holy City. From a scholarly perspective, there is an inherent belief within this repeated refrain that there is an expectation that God's children will be treated as gifts.
