Subject: 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.
