In Christ the original image of God is restored, by faith in this world and by sight in the world to come.

One of the core ideas of the Bible is that meaning can be found in history. The sheer act of telling and retelling stories helps us to understand God's role in the world as well as our own position in a long line of ancestors who have wrestled with similar issues to the ones we wrestle with every day.

If you look at the Bible as a whole, it's redemptive and beautiful, and it's God's love story to mankind.

The whole Bible is the story of men and women trying to get back to God, to overcome that sin with sacrifices, good works, sermons, prophesy, witnessing, giving all kinds of things. It never worked.

The gospel comprises indeed, and unfolds, the whole mystery of man's redemption, as far forth as it is necessary to be known for our salvation.

The Bible is replete with commands to persevere, especially in the face of injustice.

Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted.

God himself preserved the Bible, and brought it down through the ages.

The teachings of the New Testament are the most valuable guide to the best way to a civil and sustainable society the world has seen.

In the Bible, we have the facts and history of man's redemption. Incidentally or essentially, other worlds and other beings are brought prominently on the stage of redemption purposes and plans.
