Summary: A unique and urgently necessary study
Comment: "God in Man's World" represents an attempt in Biblical historiography--that is, the derivation of ethical and empirical principles from scripture with the view of applying them to the reading of history. Although Davis denounces the cyclical view of history as un-scriptural (scripture views history as definitely teleological), he recognizes that history follows certain patterns. What is unique about this study is its attempt to derive those patterns from the Bible's teachings and to see how they work themselves out in history.

Davis deals with many such principles, such as sowing and reaping, the creation principle, the sin principle, the dominion principle, the principle of diligence and perseverance, and others. Davis shows dramatically how these principles have worked themselves out in history, as humanity has fluctuated between repentance and humility before God and rejection of God and exaltation of the self (humanism). The last two chapters are particularly exciting, for here Davis draws out a scenario for the future based on how the principles reveal themselves in the present.

This book is highly recommended for Christians interested in prophecy and history, and for academic historians interested in an alternative historiographical theory that has unfortunately been all but ignored in the last century (but was once taken as a matter of course).
