We often hear the Bible’s story related in four key words: creation, fall, redemption, restoration. But I’ve become convinced that “restoration” is simply inadequate. Our future hope is not merely a restoration of Eden. As good as Eden was, it was not yet as glorious as the realm God intends to share with his people forever. And Adam and Eve were not yet all God intends his people to be. The story of redemptive history has always been heading toward glory. That was the case even in the beginning—there was an eschatology even in Eden.

I gave this workshop at The Gospel Coalition Women’s Conference in Indianapolis this June, based on my new book, Even Better Than Eden: Nine Ways the Bible’s Story Changes Everything About Your Story. I sought to answer four questions:

  • What was Eden like?
  • Where was Eden headed?
  • How will the new creation be better than Eden?
  • What difference does this make?

Is there enough evidence for us to believe the Gospels?

In an age of faith deconstruction and skepticism about the Bible’s authority, it’s common to hear claims that the Gospels are unreliable propaganda. And if the Gospels are shown to be historically unreliable, the whole foundation of Christianity begins to crumble.
But the Gospels are historically reliable. And the evidence for this is vast.
