From Garden to Garden-City

December 10th, 2008 by James Grant

Peter Leithart, Deep Comedy: Trinity, Tragedy, & Hope In Western Literature (ix):

Viewed as a whole . . . the Christian account of history is eschatological not only in the sense that it comes to a definitive and everlasting end, but in the sense that the end is a glorified beginning, not merely a return to origins. The Christian Bible moves not from garden lost to garden restored, but from garden to garden-city. God gives with interest.
