Does the Bible's collection of 66 books actually have a single storyline? Yes! The theme of that storyline is redemption, and Epic traces it from Genesis through Revelation. This book provides a big picture view of the Bible to help everyone--from first-time readers to Bible study participants--understand how its individual pieces fit together.
Discover in the opening chapters of the Bible why redemption became humanity's desperate need. Pastor Jim Nicodem helps you learn how God set this rescue effort into motion through promises He made to Abraham. Follow the unfolding of these promises through Old Testament history. Note the role of the prophets from Isaiah to Malachi in the overall drama. Witness Jesus Christ bringing redemption to a climax.
