C. S. Lewis famously penned the phrase
God in the Dock
and proposed that there was a
great divide
between ancient and modern humans, in that our ancestors would have rightly seen themselves
in the dock
before God, while we moderns have placed God there before us. But what if what God’s love most desires for us, the gospel or
good news
of the only way of life for humanity, has been
in the dock
before us from the time of Adam and Eve? And what if it is also the case that the gospel is often
in the dock
as though it is not good–even for the church? This book builds upon and expands the
life and death
stakes Lewis proposed by demonstrating that the gospel way of faith itself has been placed in the dock by us and in many ways ruined our relationships with God, with our own selves, with one another, and even with the natural world itself which we are meant to
steward
for its good. In these pages the reader will discover why the gospel that requires faith is good news, but why we so tragically default to our divisive and self-destructive ways.
