About this book
What does it mean to be human before God? The Bible gives two very different answers.
On one hand, we are weak, fallen creatures whom God has saved and redeemed from sin and death; on the other, we are images of God, sharing God’s dominion over creation. The first, the “saving tradition,” is familiar; the second, the “blessing tradition,” with its creation, royal and wisdom strands, is being recovered today.
Fr. Michael D. Guinan, OFM, Old Testament scholar at the Franciscan School of Theology in Berkeley, respects this biblical diversity and draws out what it means for prayer, the Sabbath and the spiritual life.
