One of the more important books I have spent time in during the last 10 years is James Hamilton’s book, God’s Glory in Salvation Through Judgment. I give it such lofty praise because Hamilton seeks to capture the big picture of biblical theology and does an admirable job pursuing that goal.
The target audience for my blog is the people in my church. And I know that few of them will want to make the investment to wade through 280,000 words and 600 pages. But even if you don’t read Hamilton’s book, it is worth clicking through to his site to read the 500 word summary he gives of his book.

Interesting summary. Have you been to the Creation Museum? There are some replicas to scale of the ark in the flood. There are tiny people hanging off of the very tops of mountains which are about to be swallowed by the flood. All of the people are all turned toward the giant ark floating our beside them, waving and shouting at it. It’s an incredible picture of salvation through judgement.
It’s interesting to me that only the family of Noah entered the ark. Everyone had the opportunity to hear. But what an incredible responsibility we have toward those we have the most influence over.
