Framing the Bible – Creation & Re-Creation

<br />How does the Bible frame itself?‚  Beginning with Genesis and ending with Revelation, the Bible, in the form and order we have it, frames its message as creation and re-creation of the world.‚ ‚ ‚  The first two chapters describe the creation event, and the last two chapters in Revelation describe the re-creation event.

How does Western Christianity frame the scriptures?‚  The West has adopted the human-centered narrative and has accommodated the scriptures toward privatism.‚  Privatism is a preoccupation of God’s narrative for me.‚  It forgets the cosmic nature of of God’s narrative and results in a narcissistic faith.
