Endorsements:

"How I wish I had grasped biblical theology long before I began to learn about it in my forties! What Jon Nielson has written in Tracing God's Story is a concise account of the story the divine author has written in Scripture. While this book is economical with words, it is generous with insight. It presents the story simply but not simplistically. I look forward to recommending it to those who long to have a more solid grip on the Bible's storyline."
--Nancy Guthrie, teacher, Biblical Theology Workshop for Women

"I am so grateful for the work of Jon Nielson. He continues to provide the church with outstanding material for the study of the Bible and theology. One of the things that makes Nielson's work rather distinctive is how well he makes the study of the Bible and theology accessible to a wide audience. In Tracing God's Story, Nielson does for biblical theology what he did for systematic theology in his excellent Knowing God's Truth. Beginning with creation, he traces God's acts of redemption all the way through to the consummation of the age. Along the way, he invites the reader to engage with the material devotionally. I am excited to get this book into the hands of members of the church I serve."
--Todd Pruitt, Pastor, Covenant Presbyterian Church, Harrisonburg, Virginia; Cohost, Mortification of Spin

"As in a novel, you can't just dip into a page of the Bible and get the gist. Through all the diverse writings, what's the through line? This is an outstanding and accessible introduction to the plot that keeps biblical history moving from Genesis to Revelation. I highly recommend this book."
--Michael Horton, J. Gresham Machen Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics, Westminster Seminary California

"In Tracing God's Story, Jon Nielson presents a clear, coherent, and compelling account of the metanarrative of redemptive history, skillfully weaving the threads of God's own character with his acts of creation and providence into a tapestry of biblical theology. Not only does he provide the appropriate historical, literary, and redemptive contexts, but he also supplies the reader with cogent and salient application. I'm excited to use this resource in my church for many years to come!"
