Where is the world going? Why did God create it--and us? Is there any purpose and meaning at the heart of the universe? In this book--written for the believer who seeks to understand more of God, the student who will one day teach the Word, and those who do not yet have a personal relationship with Christ--Peter Jensen brilliantly tackles the universal questions that confront us all and shows how Christian truth answers these questions. He makes his point by starting at the End--tackling the " last things" first. By looking at the ultimate fulfillment of God's Plan, Jensen guides you to see who God is and what He is doing to fulfill His end. Each successive chapter opens another door, making better sense of God's purpose for the universe--and for you. This approach also allows you to understand how the great themes of the Bible fit together as a whole and how they spur you on to deeper faith, more effective service, and truer worship. Written with the works of the great theologians in mind, this book is for everyone who wants to understand Christian belief, their place in the world, and the dynamic goal toward which God is working.
