Creation to Revelation: A Brief Account of the Biblical Story
Authur: James O. Chatham
Many people are active Bible readers, reading a chapter or more every day, yet find it difficult to understand how individual passages relate to the entire biblical story. James Chatham, a beloved minister and Bible teacher, has spent decades introducing people from all walks of life to the panorama of the biblical story from Genesis 1 to Revelation 22.
In this accessible volume Chatham takes readers into the familiar yet fascinating story of God's gracious action in the world. From Abraham and the children of Israel to Jesus and his apostles, Chatham brings fresh insights to the old, old story. Rejecting the unhelpful practice of taking passages out of context, he encourages instead the ancient, biblical practice of consulting "the whole counsel of God."
Including pertinent sidebars and a helpful "Chronology of the Bible's Story," the book is broken up into twenty-six easy-to-use segments and enhanced by carefully designed discussion questions. While no substitute for careful Bible reading, Chatham's Creation to Revelation will surely deepen one's understanding of how the Bible's many pieces fit into the whole.
