The problem, Dean Flemming contends, is that when we read Revelation as focused on the future, we miss what it says about what God is doing in the world \u003ci\u003enow\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRevelation is one of the richest texts in Scripture for understanding both God's mission to make everything new and how the church is caught up in that mission. In \u003ci\u003eForetaste of the Future\u003c\/i\u003e, Flemming mines this largely untapped resource by introducing a missional reading of Revelation. Drawing from a variety of cultural perspectives, Flemming explores Revelation's original context, key themes, and transformational message that rings out for each new generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy reading Revelation in light of God's mission, we gain a renewed vision of God's great purpose to redeem and restore all creation through the work of the slain Lamb. We also see how God's people are called to help offer a foretaste of salvation and healing now, along with insight on how to contextualize this mission in particular settings. A missional reading not only invites us to imagine the future; it teaches us to let the future cast its light into the present to guide our way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dean Flemming\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 151400156X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781514001561\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e IVP Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/23\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 1.20d","brand":"Dean Flemming","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44058808287487,"sku":"9781514001561","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a5735c6c-43da-4741-91a6-36b7d40f1af3.jpg?v=1685054634","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/foretaste-of-the-future-dean-flemming-9781514001561","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
