God's Shalom Project: An Engaging Look at the Bible's Sweeping Story

An illumination of the biblical story which reads like music.

Highly readable and engaging, Ott's chapters follow the wide-ranging narrative of God's activity through time. Ott sees God as a gracious parent, intent on a restored relationship with humans. It is that ongoing effort which Ott calls the Shalom project. Realized fully, Shalom includes harmony among humans, and between humans and creation.

Ott believes that "God wants a Shalom people," a community of faithful Christians who together love God and each other, and then live in the world within that strength.

Includes questions for discussion, talkbacks with the author and an extensive bibliography.
