The Unfolding Drama of the Bible

Product Description In this concise and accessible volume, newly revised, one of the most revered contemporary biblical theologians introduces the first-time reader to the dramatic sweep of the Bible in eight carefully crafted study sessions, reminding even veteran readers of the Bible's central messages. Study resources and discussion questions, now carefully updated, make this book the ideal resource for introductory Bible courses and adult inquirer classes. Review "Clear, accessible, reliable, up-to-date, and to the point. In a time of enormous biblical illiteracy, there is an acute need for guidance. In much church practice, moreover, there is a tendency to use isolated texts here and there, and so there is need for an overview that shows the whole picture of scripture in a coherent way." -- Walter Brueggemann "McPheeters Professor of Old Testament Emeritus, Columbia Theological Seminary" About the Author Bernhard W.
