From Chaos to Cosmos: Creation to New Creation

By Sidney Greidanus

Book Overview

"I form light and create darkness; I make well-being and create calamity; I am the LORD, who does all these things." Isaiah 45:7

When God created the world, he brought perfect order out of what was "without form and void." But with human rebellion against God leading to God's curse, disorder was introduced into creation--disorder that we still see all around us today. Tracing the chaos to cosmos theme from Genesis 1 to Revelation 22, pastor-scholar Sidney Greidanus reveals how God is restoring his creation through Jesus Christ, who has already begun to shine light into the darkness and will one day return to bring peace, order, and restoration once and for all. With discussion questions at the end of each chapter and a fourteen-session reading plan, this book is ideal for small groups as well as individual study.

Demonstrates the unity of Scripture centering on Christ's first coming and climaxing at his second coming Offers hope for restoration of the world through Jesus Christ Includes sample sermons that illuminate this theme throughout the Bible Part of the Short Studies in Biblical Theology series, which offers readers accessible introductions to major topics in biblical theology
