Synopsis

The Bible is the sure Word of God, a help and guide for our everyday life. But it's also filled with bewildering diversity--poetry, history, and letters written by dozens of people in several languages. What do the exodus, covenant, and priesthood have to do with grace, faith, and discipleship? What possible connection can there be between Sinai and Golgotha? How do we get from the Garden of Eden to the New Jerusalem? This accessible introduction to the Bible emphasizes the unity within its diversity. The Symphony of Scripture traces the great biblical themes in their recurring rhythms and patterns, helping the reader see and appreciate God's grand, overarching design for His creation.

Review

Are you ever overwhelmed by the size and diversity of the Bible? Do you ever wonder how it all fits together? I enthusiastically recommend that you read The Symphony of Scripture to gain a bird's eye view of the Bible's compelling message.

An outstanding summary of the content of Holy Scripture. In contrast to the prevailing evangelical hermeneutical device that slices and dices the Bible into different segments of varying relevance, Strom sets forth the underlying unity and beauty of scriptural teaching. Moving from Genesis to Revelation, he traces the various themes and motifs of scripture, showing how they all come together to form a truly harmonious and consistent whole."
