Everyday Glory (Paperback)

A widely-respected theologian recaptures a Christian vision of reality–that all the world is full of divine signs–and shows how and where meaning can be found outside the church and special revelation.

How do we know and speak about God’s relation to this world? Does God reveal himself through his creation? This book recaptures a Christian vision of all reality: that the world is full of divine signs that are openings into God’s glory. Bringing together insights from some of the tradition’s greatest thinkers–Edwards, Newman, and Barth–Gerald McDermott resurrects a robust theology of creation for Protestants. He shows how and where meaning can be found outside the church and special revelation in various realms of creation, including nature, science, law, history, animals, sex, and sports.
