The Symphony of Scripture
Making sense of the Bible's many themes
Description
The Bible is the sure Word of God, a help and guide for everyday life. But it's also filled with bewildering diversity - 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 emphasises the unity within its diversity. Mark Strom traces the great themes in their recurring rhythms and patterns, helping the reader discern God's grand, overarching design for his creation.
