From Land to Lands, from Eden to the Renewed Earth: A Christ-Centered Biblical Theology of the Promised Land
Logos Editions are fully connected to your library and Bible study tools.
Overview
The land is a theme through which the whole biblical history found in the Old and New Testaments can be studied and analyzed. Looking at the land in the Bible from its beginnings in the Garden of Eden, this publication approaches the theme from three distinct perspectives—holiness, the covenant, and the kingdom. Through careful analysis the author recognizes that the land has been universalized in Christ, as anticipated in the Old Testament, and as a result promotes a missional theology of the land that underlines the social and territorial dimensions of redemption.

An excellent book rich with local Christian theological experience. The western world needs to listen well to the many generations of believers who have been living "in the land" for thousands of years. We are way too obfuscated by the noise of the previous western generation's fascination with dispensational, rapture theology which is a novel teaching only in the last 200 or so years. Munther takes us back to the Hebrew scriptures and helps us understand the promises of the land in light of the advent of the Messiah, Jesus, as they are understood today by the heirs of the promises "in the land".
