Religious ethics; Christianity; Christian social thought & activity

Is it God's will that the world be destroyed? That is no longer a believable idea. This book starts from the assumption that God has nothing to do with the destruction of the world. To account for these facts, rather, we must look at the ""deep darkness""--depicted in the Bible--that threatens to return the world to a formless void. With that assumption this book proposes a biblical theology that shows how faith and hope can align with our scientific and ethical understandings and how such a thoughtful faith will be active in love. So understood, the love of God looks less like the love a parent has for a child than the challenging, risky love a leader has for disciples, whose word to them is ""follow me."" In this way we see that love works: love is active; and love succeeds in defeating the corruption and violence that threaten to destroy our world. That's the gospel truth.
