Thomas Schreiner, a respected scholar and a trusted voice
for many students and pastors, offers a substantial and accessibly
written overview of the whole Bible. He traces the storyline of the
scriptures from the standpoint of biblical theology, examining the
overarching message that is conveyed throughout. Schreiner emphasizes
three interrelated and unified themes that stand out in the biblical
narrative: God as Lord, human beings as those who are made in God's
image, and the land or place in which God's rule is exercised. The goal
of God's kingdom is to see the king in his beauty and to be enraptured
in his glory.
