Christians And The New Creation

In Christ and the New Creation, Matthew Emerson takes a fresh approach to understanding New Testament theology by using a canonical methodology. Although typically confined to Old Testament theology, Emerson sees fruitfulness in applying this method to New Testament theology as well. Instead of a thematic or book-by-book analysis, Emerson attempts to trace the primary theological message of the New Testament through paying attention to its narrative and canonical shape. He concludes that the order of the books of the New Testament emphasize the story of Christ's inauguration, commissioning, and consummation of the new creation.

In this major thematic work, senior scholar Paul Minear examines the Genesis motifs that are echoed in numerous parts of the New Testament. By doing so, Minear links the story of the old creation with the story of the new creation as he examines the language of beginnings--creation, fall, and curse--found in both testaments. Minear concludes that there is a need to reexamine the legacy of the old creation in order to understand and value the gift of the new creation.

Although the twentieth century has witnessed a thorough liturgical revival and renewal, the last ten years have exploded in diverse and conflicting styles, settings, and even media of corporate worship: traditional high-church liturgies, alternative worship for small communities, women church services, seeker services at megachurches, and more. Does this innovation portend a brave new liturgical world, or is it just dumbing down? For example, do megachurch services simply revive the old frontier revival and, in an effort to reach out, accommodate Christianity to the reigning consumer culture? One of today's most knowledgeable liturgical theologians and historians contemplates the future shape of liturgy. He believes that ritual systems--liturgy--express and inculcate a worldview, an implicit theology; and, he fears lest the community of faith gain the whole world and lose its soul. New Creation proposes the lines of a Christian culture or worldview, or way of life, that can inform liturgical renewal. Twelve erudite and earnest chapters further specify this counter-cultural matrix as it pertains to God, Christ, church, creation, world, worship, hospitality, culture, evangelism, prayer, and life itself.

The Living Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:17 "When someone becomes a Christian he becomes a brand new person on the inside" This is part of the wonderful saving work of God in the New Testament dispensation. To live in the power of this new life and walk in victory however, we need to clearly know the difference between the truth's of "Us in Christ" and "Christ in Us." These truth's are clearly set out in this book and when they are applied in our life, we gain the vistory over our two enemies, the flesh and the devil. My prayer is that everyone who reads this book may experience the abundant life that Jesus speaks of in John 10:10.

"Truly this was the Son of God!" Matthew 27:54 The theme of divine sonship stretches across the pages of the Bible: from Adam in the garden of Eden, through the nation of Israel and King David, and ultimately to Jesus Christ in the New Jerusalem—the Son of God par excellence. In this volume, renowned biblical scholar Graeme Goldsworthy shows what Christ's fulfillment of the divine sonship motif means for all who are sons and daughters of God. Part of the Short Studies in Biblical Theology series.
