At the Heart of the Universe

By Peter Jensen

At the heart of the Universe opens up God's great purpose for us and our world, focusing on the End towards which God has been working throughout history and is still working today. In doing so, Peter Jensen sheds light on the main aspects of Christian belief, showing how they fit together as one dynamic whole, and how they relate to us and our culture at the beginning of the twenty-first century.

Customer Reviews

A book about Jesus by a man who loves Jesus.

Peter Jensen puts Jesus Christ in the centre of God's plans. This is not quite correct; the Bible puts Jesus in the centre of God's plans and Jensen just reports on it. If you accept the Bible as being the Word of God you will probably enjoy this book, if you do not accept the Bible as the Work of God you will certainly not like this book.

Lucid and erudite explanation of orthodox Christian theology

This book is literary in style, original in approach and comprehensive in scope given its brevity. Over five short chapters, Jensen, an Australian theologian, explicates Christian doctrine beginning from the end. The gospel of Christ is the driving force of the book. This book also has the advantage of being by a believer - it avoids the coldness of much theological writing and Jensen reveals a passion for his subject. Definitely worth a read.
