All Things New Review
All Things New: Heaven, Earth, and the Restoration of Everything you Love
Author: John Eldredge
Genre: Religious
First Take: Quite interesting
When did I read it? 2018
Details:
This was an interesting pitstop in my reading during late 2018 early 2019. My belief about the afterlife at the time was that when we die, we are buried in the “covered place” (hell) and await the resurrection of the dead by Jesus Christ when we will spend the kingdom of God on earth assisting with creation’s perfecting. So, frankly and without arrogance, this book wasn’t really that ground breaking to me. With my more recent shift to a more traditional Christian viewpoint, I am exploring this area again.
Confronting for some…
One reviewer said, “This book doesn’t only challenge our idea of what our life with Christ will be in the hereafter, it completely shatters and corrects our paradigm…” This review has since been taken down.
Based around Matthew 19:28, “the renewal of all things”, John builds a premise that we will get everything back in essence, to the Edenic state.
