Sep 7, 2015: The New Adam

Robert E. Webber

The theology of recapitulation is another way of describing the ancient framework of God’s story: creation—incarnation—re-creation. . . . Jesus Christ is the new Adam who does it over again. He sums up the history of the world. He triumphs over death and all that is evil, winning the world back for his heavenly Father, returning it to the garden of God’s glory. This same Lord rules over creation forever in his kingdom.


-Robert E. Webber, Ancient-Future Worship: Proclaiming and Enacting God’s Narrative (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Books, 2008), 172-173.
