I have a question and thought this would be a great time to join the board.
Is there a name given to the theological idea that our ultimate redemption is a restoration of the original state of things in Eden? vs. of course, the idea that the new creation is something bigger and better.

I'm looking for the historical context (assuming there is one) over the debate between God's initial purpose in creation.
ie. Was Adam (and Eden) the ultimate ideal, equivalent in all ways to our future glorified state? (I know this answer to be NO, but don't know what theological terms might exist to research the issue from a historical perspective).

Thanks.
