God's Resolve to Create New Heavens and New Earth

Book Cover & Preview Text
We have yet to explore what the implications of the Garden of Eden in Genesis Chapter Two are. Our view becomes distorted when we limit it to a little piece of ground in current Iraq. Eden means 'a place of delight'. So it should be applied to Palestine as God's gift to His chosen. More broadly, it should be applied to earth as a place of delight among all planets of God's creation.

About the Book
The biblical story begins with God pushing back waters so that dry land appears. This is where God placed man. God called it “Earth.” Throughout the story, God continued to give this land as an inheritance for humankind. Sin brought a curse, not only on man, but on the land as well. The story ends—or is it a new beginning?—with new-born men and women dwelling on a cleansed or new earth.
