We use clich s and catch phrases every day of our lives in every
area of life, including our walk with God. Some of the most common
clich s of the Christian faith are words such as holiness,
wholeness of heart, sanctification, the deeper walk, purity,
cleansing, and Christlikeness. Great clich s, but what do they
mean? What is their context?
Through a reflective engagement with Scripture, The God Plot
invites readers to move beyond these familiar clich s and
participate in something much bigger: the narrative of God with its
unique setting, divine call, dilemma, heightening dilemma, and
resolution.
The reader will be introduced to two dominant voices in the
Bible that imaginatively and creatively unfold the plot of God: the
prophetic voice and the priestly voice. Throughout The God Plot,
readers will be invited to leave the spectator's balcony of
familiar clich s and become participants in what God is doing in
the world and desires to do in the lives of believers.
