The Home of God - A Brief Story of Everything

The Christian faith has been inept in its response to the global crisis of home, which is evident in the massive uprooting and migration of millions, the anxious nationalism awaiting immigrants, the unhoused populations in wealthy cities, the fractured households of families, and the worldwide destruction of habitats. This book tells the story of creation, redemption, and consummation through the lens of God's homemaking work, inspiring creative Christian living in our various homes today in faithfulness to God's ongoing work.

We find ourselves at the center of a profound crisis, one that manifests in the widespread displacement and migration of millions worldwide, the fearful nationalism that greets immigrants in their new homes, the homeless populations thriving in affluent cities, the fractured families experiencing domestic strife, and the devastating destruction of habitats and global conflicts over dominance. Perhaps less overtly, but no less profoundly, we also sense a deep-rooted ache that tells us there is no true place where we truly belong. In this critical juncture, the Christian faith has fallen short in its response. We yearn for a more effective witness to the God who created, loves, and reconciles this world, who comes to dwell among us. This book seeks to shed light on the entirety of God's creation, from its inception to its ultimate fulfillment, through the lens of God's homemaking work. By presenting the story in this manner, the authors aim to unveil the theological richness that emerges from telling this tale. The result is a vision that can ignite a renewed sense of creative Christian living, rooted in our diverse homes and faithful to God's ongoing work.
