Telling God's Story: The Biblical Narrative from Beginning to End [Hardcover]

Preben Vang (Author), Terry Carter (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 2006

By the time a Christian reaches young adulthood, he is likely to be quite familiar with every major story in the Bible, but not from having studied them in any particular order. Ask an average Bible student to arrange certain characters and events chronologically, and the results are telling.

Telling God’s Story looks closely at the Bible from its Genesis beginning to Revelation conclusion. By approaching Scripture as one purposefully flowing narrative, emphasizing the inter-connectedness of the text, veteran college professors Preben Vang and Terry Carter reinforce the Bible’s greatest teachings and help readers in their own ability to share God’s story with others.

Excellent book! It is very well written. The authors explained the bible in a way that connected all of the things that I have been taught all my life and brought new meaning to it all. I now understand so much more and am able to connect and understand the signifigance of the different events I have learned in those stories. I would recommend this book to anyone!

This book is a well-written, down-to-earth retelling of the Biblical narrative. It puts all the pieces together and enables the reader to understand the Bible on a broad scope. I learned and my congregation was blessed to study this material in a Sunday evening setting.
