The True Story of the Whole World: Finding Your Place in the Biblical Drama (Revised)

This book provides an overview of the grand narrative of the Bible, showing how God's action in the world gives meaning to our lives and provides us with a foundation for our actions. The authors' bestselling textbook, The Drama of Scripture, presented this message for a student audience. It was then abridged and published at a more popular level as The True Story of the Whole World. This revised edition has been further updated and streamlined throughout for church readers and small groups. It includes contemporary reflection sections and discussion questions for individual or group use in each chapter.ContentsPrologue: The Bible as a Grand StoryAct 1: God Establishes His Kingdom: CreationAct 2: Rebellion in the Kingdom: FallAct 3: The King Chooses Israel: Restoration InitiatedScene 1: A People for the KingScene 2: A Land for God's PeopleInterlude: A Kingdom Story Waiting for an Ending: The Intertestamental PeriodAct 4: The Coming of the King: Restoration AccomplishedAct 5: Spreading the News of the King: The Mission of the ChurchScene 1: From Jerusalem to RomeScene 2: And into All the WorldAct 6: The Return of the King: Restoration Completed ISBN 9781587434761, SKU 1034761 Copyright 2020, Published by Brazos Press a division of Baker Publishing Group
