A Canonical Journey to Explore the Mission of the Eternal God

"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth" (Gen. 1:1). This declarative phrase introduces fundamental questions circling the minds of sceptics and believers of Christianity alike. What was God's mission when he chose to create? And why, through the Saviour's death on the cross and the witness of his church, does he continue to redeem the very creation that rebels against him?

To answer these imperative questions, author Justin Schell takes readers on a canonical journey exploring the mission of the eternal God—Father, Son, and Spirit. Drawing insights from creation, the exodus of God's people, the suffering servant, the Great Commission, and consummation, this book examines the purpose and beauty of God's great story. It is out of an abundance of love that God brings us into union with him, calling his church to bear witness to all that has been done in Christ, until the day that he returns.
