New Publication from Dr. Ryan Lister

Dr. J. Ryan Lister, Associate Professor of Theology at Western Seminary, published The Presence of God: Its Place in the Storyline of Scripture and the Story of Our Lives in November 2014. Lister's first published book, The Presence of God focuses on what His presence means for humanity, examining this theme throughout Scripture.

...the presence of God is a central goal in God's redemptive mission. The second truth follows: the presence of God is the agent by which the Lord accomplishes his redemptive mission....So to put our argument in its simplest terms, the presence of God is a fundamental objective in our redemption and, simultaneously, the means by which God completes this objective.

Written in an approachable, straight-forward style (but still rich with detail), Lister's book is an excellent resource for anyone wanting to explore this theme in-depth.
