Reality According to the Scriptures
José Soto
What is the nature of reality according to the Scriptures? What is the nature and purpose of God’s creation, and of humanity within creation? Did our role change after evil entered the world in Genesis 3, or is it fundamentally the same as at creation? What is “the meaning of life” according to the Scriptures, and how can such a vision be lived out and conveyed meaningfully in our generation? These are the sorts of questions this book is beginning to address, the first fruits of more than twelve years of research at the intersection of philosophy and biblical studies.
Reality According to the Scriptures is written by a Christian disciple for Christian disciples: a call for the church to get our Story straight, to find ourselves in the narrative-world of the Bible, and then do our best to play our part well.
