New Articles from the Latest Issue of Faith for All of Life
Entrepreneurial Dominionism
By Christopher J. Ortiz
Wisdom, as I stated in the last issue, is God’s technology.1 It is the hidden glory that permeates creation and is waiting for man to discover. Wisdom was in the “other trees” that Adam and Eve could freely eat (Gen. 2:16), but they chose a forbidden wisdom, which instead of “making them wise” (Gen. 3:6), brought them a frustrating awareness of their nakedness.
