Gods Judgments : Interpreting History And The Christian Faith

InterVarsity Press Publication

Steven J. Keillor pursues the thesis that divine judgment can be a fruitful category for historical investigation. In fact, he argues that Christianity is an interpretation of history more than a worldview or philosophy. Grounding his thesis on a study of God’s judgments in both the Old and New Testaments, Keillor then takes up two events in U.S. history, the burning of Washington in 1814 and the Civil War, to explore and make his case. He concludes by suggesting the relevance his thesis has to some contemporary concerns, including the attacks of September 11.
