Far as the Curse Is Found: The Covenant Story of Redemption (Michael D. Williams)

Description

God's covenant with his people is an unfolding historical drama with personal and earthly dimensions that are often overlooked.

In this retelling of God's unfolding covenant from creation to new creation, Michael D. Williams highlights the goodness of the physical realm and God's redemptive intentions for his creation. He leads us to wonder anew at the redemptive work of God in our own history, in our own human flesh.

Pastors, students, and those interested in biblical theology are among the many who will gain fresh insight into the biblical story of redemption.

Endorsements

"Will help readers understand the Bible's covenantal structure and character, glory in God's covenant faithfulness, and see in Jesus the fullness of God's covenant now and forever. Drawing from a wide range of Reformed and evangelical scholarship, and rooted firmly in the Scriptures, Williams's account is unique in its approach, thorough in its development, compelling in its argument, and timely in its arrival."

—T. M. Moore

"Combines four emphases in a remarkably fresh way: exegetical faithfulness, biblical-theological wisdom, awareness of contributions already made, and evangelistic and pastoral fire. I am not aware of anything quite like it. What a wonderful book!"

—William Edgar

"When I used a prepublication copy to teach seminary students, they found the book to be reader-friendly and the story of the intimate connection between creation and redemption easy to follow. They were deeply moved by the power of the Bible’s own covenant narrative. Some were surprised to be opened to new ways of looking at God, his world, salvation, and themselves. The book is clear, thoughtful, and faithful to Scripture."

—Robert A. Peterson

"Must reading for pastors and lay people alike. If you want to get the big picture of the whole Bible, take a look at this work."

—Richard L. Pratt Jr.
