The story of Israel : a biblical theology
"This book explores the unitive theme of this story of Israel from Genesis to Revelation. Probing each section of Scripture - from Pentateuch, History, Psalms and Prophets to Gospels, Epistles and Apocalypse - the authors bring the contours of this story to light. From close-up examinations of key texts to panoramic shots of the biblical terrain, The Story of Israel unfolds an intriguing and compelling perspective on biblical theology. And with its features of recommended readings and study questions, it is a textbook suitable for classroom and individual study."--Jacket
