The Drama of Scripture
Finding Our Place in the Biblical Story
About this book
The story of the Bible and its account of God's action in the world give meaning to our lives and provide us with the foundation for our actions.
In this bestselling textbook, Craig Bartholomew and Michael Goheen survey the grand narrative of the Bible, demonstrating how the biblical story forms the foundation of a Christian worldview. In considering the biblical story, the authors emphasize the unity of the whole, viewing the Bible as a drama in six acts: creation, sin, Israel, Christ, church, and new creation. Two overarching themes--covenant in the Old Testament and kingdom in the New Testament--tie the biblical story together. Throughout, the authors suggest, God is revealed through the story and calls us to participate in his drama.
The third edition has been updated and revised throughout. Additional resources for students and professors are available through Textbook eSources.
