Salvation History: God’s Rescue Operation is an overarching narrative of God’s tenacious, unconditional love for human beings. His commitment to us is demonstrated by the great rescue mission he launches to heal, refresh, transform, and save human kind in his unwavering quest to return us to a modern-day Garden of Eden. The book provides a fresh, original interpretive lens through which to understand the intricacies of the Bible, particularly the Old Testament which contains the promise eventually fulfilled in Jesus of Nazareth—the Savior of the world. This insightful work will help the reader process biblical content at a much higher and deeper level of faith that has the power to purposefully direct our paths and transform lives.
