Description

The New Testament writers construct God as active in the world and among human beings. These pictures of God are more functional than ontological, concerned with God’s activity rather than pondering God’s being. In this insightful book Warren Carter offers both a descriptive and critical look at key “snapshots” depicting God-at-work in the New Testament and asks readers to contend with the implications of these God-portraits for life in the world today. Rather than offering a single picture of God, Carter helps readers discover the power of engaging the sometimes competing images of God-at-work in the New Testament. This critical tension can lead to a more discerning understanding of what God is up to in the world today and how individuals and communities are called to live in light of God’s good news in Jesus Christ.
