Humanity’s story begins in a garden and ends in a city, between two trees. The first, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, marks the moment we grasped for independence and lost communion. The second, the tree of life, stands at the center of the New Creation where the redeemed walk again in the light of God’s face. In Between Two Trees , Dr. Joshua Nichols traces the grand narrative of redemption from Eden to the New Jerusalem, showing how every chapter of Scripture unfolds between those two trees; the tree of rebellion and the tree of redemption. Blending biblical theology, pastoral insight, and poetic reflection, this book explores how Christ restores what Adam lost, how divine wisdom heals human folly, and how grace transforms moral blindness into worshipful sight. Each chapter unveils a facet of this journey: Eden’s Boundaries — How God’s command reveals that limits are love. - The Image and the Word — Humanity’s calling to reflect and respond to divine truth. - Law and Light — How God’s holiness exposes sin and leads to grace. - No King, Many Judges — The chaos of self-rule and the hope of divine kingship. - Kingly Discernment — Christ as the true and better Solomon who reigns in wisdom. - Prophetic Plumb Line — The voice of truth in an age of moral collapse. - Wisdom and the Fear of the LORD — Sanctification as reverent maturity. - The Spirit and the Law on the Heart — How grace internalizes obedience. - The Church as the Pillar of Truth — A redeemed people embodying divine light. - From Tree to Tree — The consummation of all things when creation blooms again. Written with the depth of a theologian and the warmth of a pastor, Between Two Trees invites readers to see the Bible as one unified story of grace, to rediscover the beauty of God’s design, the wonder of Christ’s redemption, and the hope of eternal communion with Him. “Between the tree of rebellion and the tree of redemption stands the cross; the hinge of history and the heart of wisdom.” Ideal For Readers of biblical theology and Christ-centered exposition - Pastors, teachers, and seminary students seeking a cohesive redemptive framework - Christians desiring to deepen their understanding of God’s holiness, grace, and wisdom
