Creation/Evolution Controversy
This is the 3rd in the series, and an easier read than Christ plays in 10,000 places. There is SO much great theology just casually strewn through this book. The chapters are vignettes, and could be read stand alone. Peterson's ability to pull back and give a birds eye view so he can zoom in and make a point is amazing. The chapter on Abraham is a case in point. If you read the sacrifice of Isaac on it's own, it is a terrifying story, but if you pull back and remember what God is doing with Abraham (making a great nation, and a plan of redemption) then walk thru Abrahams successes (and failures) as God prepares him for this task, the story comes into it's own.
I am great re reader of books, and this is one I will do over. soon.
