Summary:
Have you wondered how the Bible hangs together, or how to make sense of it all? The Bible isn t a set of separate books: it s a compelling drama that unfolds from beginning to end. This book unfolds Scripture in six acts from the establishment of God's kingdom to the return of the King. The authors clearly show God working in the world and in the lives of people to establish the great kingdom that has been God's plan from the beginning. Learn how God's story continues in our lives here and now, and how to discover our meaning and place in it. Great for seasoned Christians looking for a new way to read the Bible as well as for new believers.
