Most Christians appear to approach the Bible with awe, much in the same way that they would approach Shakespeare or opera - deep mysteries understood by a few and veiled to the rest of us. However, understanding the Bible depends upon understanding two simple, yet fundamental themes which weave together all of Scripture: Covenant and Kingdom. The whole Bible from beginning to end is about these two things - God forging a relationship with us and then working through us to express his love and power. It is the DNA of the Bible. The better we understand this, the better we grasp the Bible as a whole. This will only lead to good things for us - confidence about what God is saying and a more certain and sure journey of faith as the Scriptures come alive in our hands. - from Amzon
