Product Description

Supplemented with diagrams and timelines, this accessible Bible overview unlocks the promise of salvation, and encourages effective, active Christian living in today's world.

The Bible is the story of God's salvation. Despite our fall into sin, and the recurrent rejection of God's rule, God promised to make Abraham into a 'great nation' and to 'bless' him. Yet what does this mean? How are we to interpret this promise of salvation?

Looking at God's covenantal promises with Abraham, Moses and David, Tim Chester presents the 'big pictur'’ of the Bible and helps Christians understand the part in relation to the whole. From Creation to New Creation traces different elements of the promise and introduces:

· A people: God's promise to save a people who will be His people
· A land: God's promise to provide a place of blessing
· A king: God's promise to re-establish his rule of freedom and peace
· The nations: God's promise to bring salvation to all peoples
