The Business of Is-Ness: How to Live in the World God Made

What is it? Few questions are more basic or more important that defining what a thing is. And yet, few questions are more confused. What is a human being? What is a man and a woman? What is marriage? And what is a family? Questions like these stand at the heart of modern ethics, and Christians who love their neighbors need to have good answers to them.

In nine chapters, The Business of Is-Ness answers nine questions about how to live in the world God has made the world. Without technical jargon, The Business of Is-Ness aims to help faithful Christians see from Scripture what the world is, as God intended. While the gospel of Jesus Christ offers redemption to sinners who worship creation instead of the Creator, such good news depends upon a proper understanding of God’s world. Indeed, grace does not destroy nature; it restores it. Yet, that truth depends a proper understanding of what nature is.

As Creator, God defines what the world is and how it is meant to work. And in his Word, God has revealed what those definitions are. Accordingly, anyone who takes seriously God’s Word can know with certainty what God has said about himself, his world, and everything in it.

In our confused age the nature of creation is under constant threat. So, it is vital that Christians know more than the gospel of redemption. They must also be able to proclaim and explain the doctrine of creation. In a word, “Is-Ness” is our business. And this book will help you proclaim the glorious truths of God’s creation, even as you look for the new creation.
