Section: Christianity-OT/NT

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.
