Stope
Puritan Board Sophomore
I see that Piper and Keller and N.T. Wright really seem to focus on the concept of enjoying God. And that is the chief end of man to Glorify and enjoy him forever. I see a similar posture from Spurgeon... When all is said and done they all acknowledge a heaven to gain and a hell to shun, but it seems they almost seem to really have the crux of the Gospel to be presented in a sense where its really fulfillment, and joy, and the like (this actually resonates with me), but I wonder is it a "new" thing? That is, I know Piper says that Augustine maintains the same notion of its all about enjoying God... So here is my question"
1. Is this sound?
2. What other Christians prior to our modern day, if any, were speaking/teaching/evangelizing like this?
