Explore how the Bible fits together as God’s Great Story
Many Christians struggle to grasp the progression of Scripture as a whole because they usually encounter Bible passages through disconnected readings, studies, and sermons. Living God’s Word Video Lectures is a guide to reading the Bible as it was meant to be read: as God’s Great Story.
New Testament scholar J. Scott Duvall and Old Testament expert J. Daniel Hays help Christians to understand how the Bible fits together and to see how their own lives fit into what God has done and is doing in the world. Living God’s Word Video Lectures explores the entire Bible through broad themes that trace the progression of God’s redemptive plan. It is ideal for those who want to understand the Bible better, for introductory college courses, Sunday school electives, or small group study.
