A Passion for God's Story

A Passion for God's Story presents a vision of the "Big Story" of "what on earth is God doing?" This accessible survey introduces the Bible as a whole and shows how the important pieces of the biblical narrative fit together in their right context and perspective. The Bible tells the story in the broadest way of the implementing of God's kingdom rule in history through a series of covenantal arrangements -- all in pursuit of a coherent redemptive plan -- the ultimate goal of which is new creation. -- Explores the covenantal commitments of God in Scripture. -- Considers the strategic plan of God as it is revealed in the Bible. -- Applies the overarching universal metanarrative to the local and the particular. -- Approaches the Bible as a whole. -- Encourages us to look at contemporary life from within the biblical world. -- Stimulates faith, understanding and mission.
