Riassunto

The second - thoroughly updated and revised - edition of a bestselling textbook that surveys the grand narrative of the Bible, demonstrating how the biblical story forms the foundation of a Christian worldview. The Drama of Scripture provides an engaging overview of the storyline and theology of the Bible. The authors work their way through the Bible as a drama with six acts - creation, sin, Israel, Jesus, mission and new creation. Their study provides an introduction to the Bible and a commentary on important passages, while helping the reader relate their story to the Bible story at each point.

Su questo libro

Recensione

''Much recent scholarship has emphasized the narrative quality of Scripture. This book takes that insight and brings it to life, enabling even the beginner to grasp the sense of Scripture as a single great story - a drama in which we are all invited to play a part. I am delighted to see solid scholarship made easily accessible in this splendid fashion.'' --N T Wright, Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity, University of St Andrews

''This is a vivid introduction to reading the Bible as a coherent story of God's purposes for the world. It will not only help the new reader but also enable the experienced reader to distinguish the central themes of Scripture from mere sidelights.'' --Gordon J. Wenham, author of Story as Torah and Psalms as Torah

''A volume that will help inexperienced readers of the Bible get a view of the big picture before moving into more atomistic treatments of the Bible. It will serve well in introductory level Bible courses and may serve equally well in basic courses in hermeneutics. Its easy, nontechnical language will make it a popular text with such students.'' --Journal for the Study of the New Testament

'An intelligent, engaging overview of the narrative of Scripture in six acts. Bartholomew and Goheen have produced a clear and theologically sensitive account of the Bible that is perfect for college students or adult Bible study groups.' --Christopher Seitz, Senior Research Professor, Wycliffe College, University of Toronto

'The book succeeds in making a case for a cohesive narrative in scripture, most successfully in relating the [the New Testament to the Old Testament] in themes of covenant and promise, and when exploring briefly the idea of the contemporary Christian church continuing to be a player in the drama.' --Journal for the Study of the New Testament
