The Drama of Scripture offers an engaging overview of the storyline and theology of the Bible. Craig Bartholomew and Michael Goheen suggest the Bible be viewed as a drama with six acts – creation, sin, Israel, Jesus, mission and new creation. In this engaging book, the authors share their vision of God working in his world and in his people, as he labours to shape them into the great kingdom that has been his plan from the beginning.

‘This book [enables] even the beginner to grasp the sense of Scripture as a single great story – a drama in which we are all invited to play a part. I am delighted to see solid scholarship made easily accessible in this splendid fashion.’

Tom Wright, Bishop of Durham

‘ . . . a vivid introduction to reading the Bible as a coherent story of God’s purposes for the world.’

Professor Gordon J. Wenham

‘Though Bartholomew and Goheen are obviously in conversation with relevant scholarship, their narrative is uncluttered and disarmingly transparent in its invitation for us not only to grasp but also to be grasped by the big story of God’s project.’

Professor Joel B. Green, Asbury Theological Seminary

‘The Drama of Scripture should be read, discussed, and acted on by Christians everywhere . . . Engaging almost every book of the Bible, Bartholomew and Goheen help us see the dynamic forward movement of the story that has not yet reached its end. The story encompasses us and calls for our conscious, enthusiastic engagement.’
