Includes bibliographies and index.
Creation -- The plan of redemption -- The forming of a nation : God's people and the law -- The promised land and sin's power -- Israel gets a king -- Rebellion, judgment, and future hope -- Captivity and return -- Unto us a child is born -- The ministry of Jesus -- "A prophet must die in Jerusalem" -- The grave could not hold him -- The gospel shall be for all people -- Church growth and church struggles -- Looking for a city.
By the time a Christian reaches young adulthood, they are likely to be quite familiar with every major story and theme in the Bible, but not from having studied them in particular order. Yet there's only so much that comes from skipping around. Ask an average Bible student to arrange certain biblical characters and events historically, and the mixed results can be telling. Telling God's Story looks closely at the Bible from its Genesis beginning to its Revelation conclusion. By approaching Scripture as one purposefully flowing narrative, emphasizing the interconnectedness of the text, veteran college professors Preben Vang and Terry Carter reinforce the Bible's greatest messages and help readers in their own ability to share God's story with others.
