While most Christians desire to know and understand God's Word, many have a limited understanding of the Bible. They may know bits and pieces--random Bible stories and verses--but not how the pieces fit together. This study fits these "bits and pieces" of Bible knowledge together in to the big picture, showing how each one relates to a common theme that runs throughout the Word. This journey "through the Bible" reveals the unfolding of God's plan in the insights and events found in each book of the Bible and provides a panoramic view for excellent understanding of the Bible as a whole. There is no substitute for studying the Bible, and Through the Bible is an invaluable tool for gaining a better understanding of God's Word. Author Patricia J. David encourages the reader to make a priority of knowing and understanding the Bible, and then helps the reader to accomplish this goal.

BLURB AS REWRITTEN BY PRD 11 JANUARY 2000: It is well known, but not always appreciated that the 'Bible' of the earliest Christians was the Old Testament. How did the New Testament writers justify their faith in the risen Messiah from these Jewish scriptures? In this book, distinguished biblical scholars supply answers to these questions, both in general terms and from specific examples. Under review come individual New Testament writers (Matthew, Paul, John) and important themes (the Anointed One, monogamy and divorce), while crucial passages such as John 11, Isaiah 66 and Revelation 12 are put under the microscope. This collection demonstrates the ingenuity and vitality of early Christian scriptural exegesis, and offers the reader an up to date picture of the most recent research in one of the central issues of New Testament literary and theological study.

David L. Baker outlines the problem of the relationship between the Testaments, surveys the relevant history of interpretation, critically examines four main approaches and considers four key themes. This new edition has been thoroughly revised, updated and expanded.
