Lesslie Newbigin on a history of promises
Posted on May 30th, 2005, in the evening
This is surely one of my favourite themes: the whole-of-creation, whole-of-history views of what God is up to in the universe. Lesslie Newbigin here on human history as the unfolding fulfilment of God's promises...
The real history of mankind, according to the Bible, is set in motion by the promises of God received in faith, and it is sustained by the continual but partial fulfilment of these promises - each fulfilment pointing forward to what is yet to come.
Lesslie Newbigin, The Good Shepherd
