"How would you answer the question, What's the main message of the Bible? How does the Bible itself answer that question? Introducing readers to biblical theology, Bruno teases out answers to these questions from Scripture, methodically tracing the major milestones of redemptive history to illuminate the gospel thread and to tie it all together. Whether you're new to the Bible or have grown up hearing its stories in Sunday school, Bruno's book will lead you to a greater love for God's Word and hope in the Savior to whom every part of it points."

Schreiner, James Buchanan Harrison Professor of New Testament Interpretation, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
