La Biblia promete la renovación de toda la creación - un nuevo cielo y la tierra - basado en la encarnación, vida, muerte y resurrección de Jesucristo. Durante siglos esta promesa ha sido dejada de lado o mal entendida debido al fracaso de la iglesia para captar el sentido profundo de las enseñanzas bíblicas sobre la creación y la nueva creación. La Biblia cuenta la historia de la relación rota y restaurada entre Dios, las personas y la tierra, no sólo Dios y el pueblo. Este es el evangelio completo, y tiene el poder de curar el largo divorcio teológico entre la tierra y el cielo. La resurrección de Jesús por el poder del Espíritu Santo es la clave, y la iglesia como cuerpo de Cristo es el principal medio por el cual Dios se reconcilia con todas las cosas a través de Jesucristo.

The Bible promises the renewal of all creation--a new heaven and earth--based on the incarnation, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. For centuries this promise has been sidelined or misunderstood because of the church''s failure to grasp the full meaning of biblical teachings on creation and new creation.The Bible tells the story of the broken and restored relationship between God, people, and land, not just God and people. This is the full gospel, and it has the power to heal the church''s long theological divorce between earth and heaven. Jesus'' resurrection in the power of the Holy Spirit is the key, and the church as Christ''s body is the primary means by which God is reconciling all things through Jesus Christ. Jesus'' ultimate healing of all creation is the great hope and promise of the gospel, and he calls the church to be his healing community now through evangelism, discipleship, and prophetic mission.""This book clearly reveals that Snyder''s conjunctive theology is congruent with East Asian ways of thinking. The scope of soteriology in his numerous books has been from creation to new creation. This book, however, is exceptionally thorough. It really does reconceive the whole meaning of salvation in a more soundly biblical way.""--Ohoon Kwon Mokwon University""In Salvation Means Creation Healed, Howard and Joel speak prophetic truth for Christ''s Church, which continues to be deceived by the sirens of Platonic idealism that separate matter and spirit into two different worlds. God is redeeming Creation. A must read!""--Mike SlaughterGinghamsburg Church""Salvation Means Creation Healed crafts a stunning vision of the breadth of God''s Reign in Jesus Christ over all things in both heaven and earth and then invites the church to participate fully. It is compelling. It is challenging. It demands a response.""--David Fitchauthor of The End of Evangelicalism?""In an era of dramatic and irreversible destruction of the earth''s resources, Salvation Means Creation Healed is a timely call for Christians to recover a biblical vision of the missio dei as the restoration of all creation. We all need to heed this call toward a fullness of the gospel, pledging ourselves to reconcile the unfortunate divorce between heaven and earth. Our grandchildren''s future is at stake.""--Cheryl Bridges JohnsChurch of God SeminarySnyder continues to burst old wineskins with Salvation Means Creation Healed. This is an important biblical, theological and historical examination of how modern evangelicalism has lost its way with regard to creation care and the gospel. Among all the recent publications on creation care, Snyder is the first to show how far back the roots of the ""divorce between heaven and earth"" really go. Every pastor and serious church leader who needs to get up to speed on what the issues in creation care are all about needs this book.Edward R.
