Description
God has given us the reasons for creation and our existence in the Bible, "by resolving an intricate plot that sheds light on the entire story," Alexander writes. Using this theory to start from the denouement, or resolution, in Revelation's last verses and work backward, Alexander pieces together the Bible's overarching plot. The resulting picture reveals the reasons for creation and life that have eluded those who seek to answer life's biggest questions without first placing themselves in God's story. --from publisher description.

Very good introduction to biblical theology. Though it does not deal with issues of methodology, and has a narrow thematic approach, this book wonderfully displays the importance of the theme of God's Dwelling Place in understanding the biblical narrative. I've learned much from this book. T.
