At the Heart of the Universe

This book gives an insight into many wonderful things. Firstly it helps see the mind of the current Anglican Archbishop of Sydney, as he seeks to lead many in service of their Lord.  

The clarity with which many issues have been dealt with appears on the surface rather confronational. A simple dismissing of atheistic evoloution by suggesting that this involves placing a process, and giving it the place of the one behind the process, is one such (almost insignificant) example, interwoven into the book as a whole.

At the heart of this book, and at the heart of his 1991 Moore College Lectures it was taken from, was a simple process. To intellectually link the gospel we proclaim to the need for salvation. The thoughts about the nature of election, calling and indwelling of the spirit are difficult to work through, but well worth the effort.

At the Heart of the Universe is a book I thoroughly enjoyed being challenged by, a book which seeks to proclaim the bible's words and call on the individual's life, and a book which may help in developing effective doctrine.

What the Publisher says:

At the heart of the Universe opens up God’s great purpose for us and our world, focusing on the End towards which God has been working throughout history and is still working today.  In doing so, Peter Jensen sheds light on the main aspects of Christian belief, showing how they fit together as one dynamic whole, and how they relate to us and our culture at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
