From Eden to the New Jerusalem: The Promise-Plan of God and the Restoration of Sacred Space
By Marc BatesLength1h 17m
About this audiobook
From Eden to the New Jerusalem by Marc Bates explores the organic unity of Scripture, challenging the Hellenistic and supersessionist frameworks that often divide Christian theology. Bates focuses on several core themes:The Promise-Plan of God: The book traces a unified divine purpose from creation to the New Jerusalem. Non-Supersessionist Theology: The author argues the New Covenant does not abrogate the Torah or replace ethnic Israel with a Gentile church. Covenantal Inclusion: Gentile believers are grafted into the historical commonwealth of Israel, reversing the rebellion of Babel. Eschatological Restoration: The narrative culminates in a restored, material cosmic temple where the Messiah reigns over a unified people.
