ISBN The King in His Beauty (A Biblical Theology of the Old and New Testaments) book English Hardcover 736 pages

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.ContentsProloguePart 1: Creation to the Edge of Canaan1. Genesis2. Exodus3. Leviticus4. Numbers5.
