A Walk Through the Bible

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.
