In this comprehensive exposition, a leading New Testament scholar explores the unfolding theological unity of the entire Bible from the vantage point of the New Testament. G. K. Beale, coeditor of the award-winning Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament, examines how the New Testament storyline relates to and develops the Old Testament storyline. Beale argues that every major concept of the New Testament is a development of a concept from the Old and is to be understood as a facet of the inauguration of the latter-day new creation and kingdom. Offering extensive interaction between the two testaments, this volume helps readers see the unifying conceptual threads of the Old Testament and how those threads are woven together in Christ. This major work will be valued by students of the New Testament and pastors alike.

Here in The Message 100 is the whole Bible—every single, moving word of it—laid out in 100 readings and arranged to chronologically reflect the unfolding story. Move through it at your own pace, and discover how God may be moving right there on the page, right here in your life. What moves you? Beauty? “God looked over everything he had made; it was so good, so very good!” (Genesis 1) Worry? “It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.” (Philippians 4) Injustice? “God was moved to compassion when he heard their groaning.” (Judges 2) Suffering? “Deeply moved, Jesus touched their eyes. They had their sight back that very instant.” (Matthew 20) The Bible tells a story about moving—people moving from place to place, from good times to hard times to good times again. But more than anything, it’s a story of a God who is moved by love, and who moves—and who moves us—to make the world a better place.
