Bergen’s rivalry is that salvation is whatever that both occurs the following and now, in this earth, or in no way.

This can also be why this booklet isn't really approximately heaven. The Bible isn't really a guide for purchasing to heaven. The Bible cares little or no approximately heaven and neither if you. Salvation is ready what occurs to our bodies on Tuesday instead of what we do Sunday morning or what occurs to souls after the physique dies. ignore heaven. both you belief in God otherwise you don’t.

Clear-eyed concerning the church’s ‘scars of our earlier and wounds of our present,’ this booklet refocuses the Christian dialog relating either our examining of the Bible and our paintings on the earth. Bergen demands discipleship dedication to global transformation and somatic wholeness to trump spiritual preoccupation with an otherworldly salvation of souls.”
