The Contemplative Book of Colossians - Meditating on Creation (Sanctuary theology) and the Vision of Christ Steeve Kinyoro reflects on how the reconciliation language in Colossians is a way to engage with the biblical-theological motif of redemptive patterns of sin and grace that are rooted in Genesis but find their completion in Christ through careful exegesis of Scripture.

The approach of this study tracks the biblical books from creation and fall to sanctuary and restoration-beginning with the Christ hymn in Colossians 1:15-20. It demonstrates that Christ is not merely Savior, but Creator Sustainer and Reconciler (Col. 1:16-20)

Within this book readers will learn:

• The Christological structure of Col 1:15-20
• The correlation between the genesis and September
• Theological sanctuary, redemptive patterns
• Themes of creation, fall, and restoration
• Christ the Creator, Sustainer and Reconciler
• The cross as cosmic reconciliation.
• The revealing of new creation humanity

Oh the book is worthy of consideration for anyone interested in biblical theology, Christology, sanctuary studies or simply a deeper reading of the scriptures leading to their unity as narrative whole.
