The Bible is a grand collection of 66 separate books—how are those books unified? The Story of the Bible introduces students to the coherent, unifying story line that runs through the entire Bible. Dr. Mike Goheen shows how the drama of the Bible unfolds by tracing major theological themes across the OT and NT.
