Is this world important to God, or are His purposes entirely focused on a heavenly hereafter? Do our physical experiences on earth matter, or are we “just passing through”? Phillips takes up these and other related questions in this explosive book. His answers may surprise you: from the beginning of Creation and through the twists and turns of redemption history, God has maintained a consistent plan for the earth. That plan is to bring the world to perfection under the loving stewardship of men and women. Thus, the material world is not evil, as the heresy of Gnosticism taught―nor will the earth be destroyed, as so much of modern Christianity teaches. Rather, the Orthodox Christian hope is that this earth, like our physical bodies, will one day be resurrected. Phillips shows that understanding God’s purposes for the material world gives meaning to our present-day engagement with ecology, culture, art, worship, social justice, and asceticism. Moreover, through the author’s exploration of his own spiritual biography, you’ll also see how incipient Gnosticism can show up in our lives, and you’ll learn how to recover from your own Gnostic tendencies through the spiritual practices of ancient Christianity.
