The Bible is the sure word of God, a help and guide for our everday life. But it's also filled with bewildering diversity--and poetry, history, and letters written by dozens of people in several languages. What do the exodus, covenant, and priesthood have to do with grace, faith, and discipleship? What possible connection can there be between Sinai and Golgotha? How do we get from the Garden of Eden to the New Jerusalem? This accessible introduction to the Bible emphasizes the unity within its diversity. This book traces the great biblical themes in their recurring rhythms and patterns, helping the reader see and appreciate God's grand, overarching design for His creation.
