If it is true that in Christ
God was reconciling the
world to himself, and if
it is true that Jesus was
raised from the dead on
the third day, it follows
that all our reading and
thinking must be reshaped
by those truths
These essays' recurrent themes:
the importance of Narrative as the "glue" that
holds the Bible together
the retrospectively discerned figural coherence
between the Old Testament and the New
the centrality of the resurrection of Jesus
the hope for new creation and God's
eschatological transformation of the world
the importance of standing in trusting
humility before the text
the importance of reading Scripture within
and for the community of faith:
