The Way of Eden
Before the darkness of sin descended onto our world, there was a time when God walked with mankind beneath the branches of a garden, and all was right with the world. It is hard now to imagine it, for we live in a world shaped by deceit and violence, but even in the darkness there is light. God is yet at work in his creation, and this book is a calling to remember what once was and what will be again. It is a calling to not lose hope, but to resist the darkness, not through violence or hatred, but by cultivating the fruit of the Spirit. A calling to remember that though we stand outside the garden, God is yet with us.
The Unseen Battle: Spiritual Warfare, the Three Rebellions, and Christ’s Victory Over Dark Powers (by Joel Muddamalle)
In his book, The Unseen Battle, Joel Muddamalle develops the concept of spiritual warfare through the Bible’s supernatural worldview. The book explains why the world looks spiritually fractured, politically chaotic, and morally contested. The book is a biblical-theological work, solidly grounded in Scripture and the Ancient Near Eastern (ANE) context. Muddamalle organizes the story of spiritual warfare around a supernatural framework of God’s supernatural and human families. He further explores how the relationship between these two households informs the narrative of conflict, rebellion, and redemption in the biblical text. The goal of The Unseen Battle is to bring understanding of the powers at work in the world and to highlight the order brought through Christ’s victory over all things.
