This is the long-awaited fully revised and updated 3rd edition of God's Strategy in Human History by Roger Forster and Paul Marston - one of the most important theological books of the 20th century. The book has been split into 2 volumes - Volume 1: God's Path to Victory is accessible and easy to read for everyone, and Volume 2: Reconsidering Key Biblical Ideas goes into greater depth on some key themes addressed in the first book. This new edition features two excellent forewords, one by renowned New Testament scholar I Howard Marshall and one by Greg Boyd. Volume 1: God's Path to Victory In volume 1 we explore what the Bible says about how God is working in human history. We look at the conflict between good and evil and at how your personal relationship with God fits into his bigger strategy of bringing in the Kingdom. This brings fresh meaning to questions like: - If God is good, why do suffering and evil exist? - Is God in control of the future? - Do my prayers make a difference? - Why did God choose Israel? And is Israel still chosen? - What is God’s purpose for the Church today? By looking at these questions in the context of God’s strategy we see how they start to make sense to our Christian lives in the 21st century.
