Synopsis

One of the most renowned theologians of our time tells the story of the Bible in a way that everyone can understand. Shortly before he died in 1998, Lesslie Newbigin recorded a series of eight radio addresses on basic themes and central figures in the Bible. These addresses, which form the basis of this book, affirm the Bible as the story of the history of humankind. Newbigin invites readers to join him on a journey from Genesis through Revelation, introducing the great biblical figures along the way - Abraham, Moses, Noah, the prophets, Paul, and of course, Jesus. His characteristically lucid prose, reflecting a lifetime of faithful teaching and preaching, both challenges and inspires the reader to a deeper level of Christian discipleship. This authoritative, powerful summary of the Bible story is indispensable reading for individuals, teachers, clergy, and adult study groups. Lesslie Newbigin was a founding bishop of the Church of South India and associate general secretary of the World Council of Churches. He authored numerous books, including Proper Confidence: Faith, Doubt, and Certainty in Christian Discipleship; The Gospel in a Pluralist Society; and Foolishness to the Greeks: The Gospel and Western Culture.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Bible, Newbigin says, is not a book of religion. It is a unique history of creation and the human race, with God as the central character. It is not a book which encourages us to turn away from life, but to embrace it and find God in the middle of it. An easy introduction to the Bible, this book was originally recorded as eight 15-minute programmes for radio. It contains all the highlights of how we have come to know God in the past, which will help us to find him now. An excellent Christmas or confirmation gift for a teenager, this book contains a message to remember.
