Synopsis

A road map that will help you better comprehend the Bible as a whole. Sharpen your understanding and admiration for the most important book ever written--the most monumental story ever recorded.

Esteemed theologian R.C. Sproul and best-selling author Robert Wolgemuth collaborated to highlight the essence of God's voice, activity, and purpose throughout the Old and New Testaments in this understandable and readable introduction to the Bible.

Written from the perspective of a theologian and a layman, What's In the Bible is designed to welcome both newcomers and seasoned believers to the Bible by:

• Summarizing the overall story that the Bible tells, from Genesis to Revelation.
• Unpacking common doctrinal themes.
• Coherently presenting the different types of literature found in Scripture and providing the cultural framework for each.
• Linking the Old and New Testaments with an explanation of the period between them.
• Focusing on portions of Scripture that might be confusing, such as Jesus' parables and the background of the book of Revelation.

This revised and updated edition also includes a new topical index for ease of reference.

About the Authors

R.C. Sproul (1939-2017) was founder of Ligonier Ministries in Orlando, Fla. He was also first minister of preaching and teaching at Saint Andrew's Chapel, first president of Reformation Bible College, and executive editor of Tabletalk magazine. His radio program, Renewing Your Mind, is still broadcast daily on hundreds of radio stations around the world and can also be heard online.

Robert Wolgemuth has been in the book publishing business for over forty years. A former president of Thomas Nelson Publishers, he is the founder of Wolgemuth & Associates, a literary agency representing the work of more than two hundred authors.

The author of over twenty books, Robert is known as a relentless champion for the family, relationship building, and biblical truth. His favorite “audience” is one friend, a corner table in a small café, and a steaming cup of coffee (extra cream but no sugar) between them.

A graduate of Taylor University, from which he received an honorary doctorate in May 2005, Robert has two grown daughters, two sons-in-law, five grandchildren, one grandson-in-law, and a great-grandson named Ezra. He and his wife, Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth, live in Southwest Michigan.
