Promise and Deliverance: From Creation to the Conquest of Canaan

De Graafs renewed insight into Biblical revelation is the unique perspective undergirding his treatment of all the Bible stories. It makes his book a unique presentation of Gods revelation of Himself in the covenant and keeps his interpretation of the stories from degenerating into mere moralizing.De Graafs theocentric preaching which witnessed to Gods sovereignty over the entire life of His people gripped the hearts of his hearers in his day. The same emphasis as it comes through in Promise and Deliverance should be a matter of paramount interest and concern today to evangelicals who are manifesting a growing social awareness and seeking more and more points of contact between Christian beliefs and daily life.-Prof. H.
