A book about the telos of the gospel and impressing heavenly patterns into the earth, articulating the larger framework that True Magic takes for granted.
Very good. I was first led into this line of thinking: that the Gospel is the proclamation of Jesus as King, by reading through the many evangelistic sermons in Acts.
Some books that confirmed and broadened this idea:
"How God Became King: The Forgotten Story of the Gospels", NT Wright
"The King Jesus Gospel: The Original Good News Revisited" by Scot McKnight
"Salvation by Allegiance Alone: Rethinking Faith, Works, and the Gospel of Jesus the King" by Matthew W Bates (and other books by the same author)
In that last one Bates argues that saving faith in the NT is exactly allegiance to Jesus the King. I have found this very helpful.
Copy ordered. Looking forward to it.
