THE NATIONS CALLED
Theology of the Nations and their Redemption.
by Pieter Bos
ISBN 1-85240-307-1
Sovereign World, Tonbridge, UK
Part 1 of the designated trilogy 'The City Redeemed'.
To wet your appetite, see the core paragraph of the book: “God's
covenant with the nations.” It describes the beauty of nations in
general and of 16 specific nations; the nine anti-covenants with which
the evil one tries to block nations from covenanting to God; and the responsibility
of the Church towards its nation.
“A PARADIGM-SHIFTING BOOK ON GOD’S PLAN FOR THE NATIONS
IN THE 21st CENTURY.”
The City Redeemed is a trilogy exploring God’s destiny for the nations
and cities of the earth. This ground-breaking work provides a much-needed
theological basis for the practical advances already being made by those
involved in international intercession, reconciliation, city-reaching
and the transformation of society.
It presents God's glorious covenant with all nations, also with nations
in our time. Of sixteen nations a brief sketch from this perspective is
included. This makes clear why the nations and cities are the main stake
in the spiritual battle. In that battle the focus is not on fighting but
on disarming the enemy; it is not fighting against an enemy but fighting
for the nations. And even more important: it is a battle by the Church:
is the Church aware of this commission, and of its authority to perform
it, and of the circumstances in which she must prevail, even in the end-time?
"This book is written for God-seekers and thinkers, for intercessors
and socially involved theologians, for missionaries who take the cross-cultural
aspect of their task seriously and for discerning readers of the news,
for visionaries who have faith for societal change through the power of
God, and for those who are prepared to think corporately and historically
and to function spiritually."
"The Nations Called" is a paradigm-shifting book, fit to be
discussed in biblestudy groups and seminars, on church councils and mission
boards, and in political circles at municipal and national level. It is
not an historical-international overview for interest sake; it analyses
the spiritual dynamics reaching from the ark of Noah to the headlines
of your daily newspaper, and rocking the foundations of the church you
attend next Sunday morning!
