The New Testament in Light of the Bible's Grand Storyline

In The Story Retold, G. K. Beale and Benjamin L. Gladd explore the New Testament in light of the broad history of redemption, emphasizing the biblical-theological themes of each New Testament book. Their distinctive approach helps readers make sense of the New Testament in light of the Old Testament.

The authors provide readers with a deeper, more cohesive understanding of the biblical narrative, emphasizing the continuity between the two Testaments. The New Testament is not a standalone narrative but a retelling of the grand story of redemption that begins with Israel and finds its culmination in Christ.

Key Features:

  • Written by experts in biblical theology and rooted in years of teaching experience
  • Traces the use of the Old Testament in every New Testament book
  • Focuses on theological themes while including introductory topics like authorship and dating

For each book in the New Testament, Beale and Gladd approach the Bible's story line through four avenues:

1. Biblical-Theological Themes: Prominent themes or passages in each book are highlighted, showing their connection to redemption history.

2. Thematic Threads: The authors identify one particular thread that runs from the Old Testament into the New Testament passage under discussion.

3. Visual Aids: Helpful images and figures clarify key concepts and enhance comprehension.

4. Textual Relationships: Each major section of each book is examined for textual or conceptual connections to the Old Testament.

By examining the New Testament through the lens of the Old Testament, this book invites readers to gain a richer, theologically grounded understanding of the New Testament, not as a new story but as a story retold.
