A unique overview of both the Old and New Testaments, from a widely respected evangelical speaker and writer.

Unlocking the Bible opens up the word of God in a fresh and powerful way. Avoiding the small detail of verse by verse studies, it sets out the epic story of God and his people in Israel. The culture, historical background and people are introduced and the teaching applied to the modern world.

Eight volumes have been brought into one compact and easy to use guide to cover both the Old and the New testaments in one massive omnibus edition.

Old Testament: The Maker s Instructions The five books of law A Land and A Kingdom Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1&2 Samuel, 1&2 Kings Poems of Worship and Wisdom Psalms, Song of Solomon, proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Job Decline and Fall of an Empire Isaiah, Jeremiah and other prophets The Struggle to Survive Chronicles and prophets of exile

New Testament: The Hinge of History Mathew, Mark, Luke, John and acts The Thirteenth Apostle Paul and his letters Through Suffering to Glory Revelation, Hebrews, and the letters of James, Peter and Jude"

This is an intensely readable look at the Christian Church down the ages, providing powerful messages for our own times. Many church members know little or nothing about the story of Christianity between the New Testament period and today. They therefore may not realise how much they have been in uenced by traditions developed during that time. These can have both a negative and positive bene t. Negative, because 'those who forget history are condemned to relive it'. Most of the mistakes we make and errors we fall into have happened before and we can learn from our forefathers to avoid them. Positive, because we have such a rich heritage it would be folly to ignore. We can draw inspiration and examples from the spiritual giants who went before us and, after all, we can look forward to meeting them personally in glory.

Taking the middle section of the Apostles' Creed as the frame work, David explains the fundamental fact about Jesus on which the Christian faith is based in a fresh and stimulating way. Both old and new Christians will benefit from this 'back to basics' call and find themselves falling in love with their Lord all over again
