Synopsis

A bold new view reverses the expected order of divine and human things, revealing a pattern that shapes every doctrine.

This book argues that understanding comes from recognizing a consistent inversion between God’s and humanity’s directions, a theme that threads through scripture and church history.

Drawing on the author’s examination of regeneration, salvation, and the relationship between earthly and heavenly forms of the church, the work offers a distinctive lens for reading the Bible and interpreting Christian faith. It traces how the “fleshly” church gave way to a heavenly state and explains the implications for belief, practice, and the life of faith.

• A core principle: when natural order points one way, the divine order often points in the opposite direction.
• How regeneration and creation are seen in an inverted relation to one another.
• The distinction between a reconciled earthly church and a heavenly, saved state.
• Guidance on reading scripture through this inversion to better grasp doctrine and history.

Ideal for readers who enjoy rigorous biblical interpretation and historical theology with a provocative, transformative perspective.
