Chasing the Shadow-the World and Its Times e-bog

Christian natural theology is founded on the proper coordination of Scripture and the created world, what was once called "e;The Two Books"e; of God. Carrying forward the work he began in The World in the Shadow of God, Radner here reflects on the way that Scripture's creative relationship with temporal experience--ordering history rather than being ordered by history--opens up the natural world to its essential Scriptural meaning. Like the earlier volume, poetic description is offered as a primary vehicle for doing natural theology, which is shown to proceed according to the figural shape of the Bible's own description of the world.
