How would you answer the question, Whats 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 youre new to the Bible or have grown up hearing its stories in Sunday school, Brunos book will lead you to a greater love for Gods Word and hope in the Savior to whom every part of it points.
J. Mack Stiles, CEO, Gulf Digital Solutions; General Secretary, Fellowship of Christian UAE Students (FOCUS), United Arab Emirates; author, Evangelism
This compact and insightful book is ideal for one-on-one discipleship, as well as more formal teaching contexts. All Christians, whether mature or young in the faith, will find much to meditate on and rejoice in as Bruno faithfully sketches in the story of redemption.

New Testament Interpretation, The Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary
In order to understand our Bibles, we need to understand the big story of Gods redemptive plan. Chris Bruno focuses on sixteen key texts to provide a clear and accessible outline of this big story. I recommend the book highly.
Douglas J. Moo, Wessner Chair of Biblical Studies, Wheaton College
Chris Bruno captures the plotline of the Bible in sixteen short verses. Each verse is vital for understanding the unfolding story, but the story is also greater than the sum of its parts. When seen together, the cumulative picture is breathtaking and life changing.
Jason C. Meyer, Pastor for Preaching and Vision, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis, Minnesota
Chris Brunos book leads us through the Bible as a whole story in just sixteen verses. It gives us a secure grasp of the overall unity of the message of the Bible through accessible chapters and bite-size portions of the text.

May you enter this story with
joy in the Promised One, Jesus
If you are reading this book, you are interested in biblical theology, even if you dont know it yet. Unlike systematic theology, which gathers together everything the Bible teaches about a particular subject into one place, biblical theology is concerned with unpacking the chronological development of a theme or cluster of themes in the Bible. The goal is to trace a particular theme or the overall storyline as it unfolds in the Bible. In this book, we are going to trace the storyline of the Bible and look at how some of the central themes are developed throughout its pages. So congratulationsyou are on your way to becoming a biblical theologian!
Some biblical theology books are forest books. They paint with broad strokes, showing us the main parts from one section of the Bible or even the big picture of the whole Bible. These kinds of books help us see the overall shape of the Bibles main themes. Other biblical theology books are tree books. They take one treeeither a theme or a passage from the Bibleand carefully saw it apart, count the rings, and then give us a thorough explanation of how that particular tree fits into the forest. But there arent a lot of booksespecially shorter books, like this onethat are both forest and tree books.
This book is an attempt to see the forest by looking at the trees (verses or passages). While we wont look at the trees as closely as some books, we will look at sixteen important trees (we might even call them guideposts) that will help us get a sense of the whole forest. After this short tour through the forest of the Bible, I hope you will be excited about finding a few forest books and a few tree books to help you get a better grasp of the story of the Bible both in its whole and in its parts.
So lets set out on our journey together. We will start at the very beginning, with the creation of the world.
This book began in a Thursday night class at the Antioch School Hawaii, the pastoral training program I helped lead. In those two hours, we worked through most of the texts that ended up in this book. John Boehm, John Curran, Dustin and Britt Harris, Nathan Kawanishi, Todd Morikawa, Alton Uyema, Mark Watanabe, and Justin Whitethank you for helping me trace this story. Thanks also to the congregation of Christ Fellowship Church in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, where I presented some of this material. My church, Harbor Church, and fellow elders, John Boehm, Matt Dirks, Justin Geer, and Ethan Pien, have been a constant joy and support to my family and me. Many other friends in ministry at the Antioch School Hawaii, at the Northland International University, and scattered around the world have encouraged and sharpened me as I worked on this book. Special thanks are also due to Jim and Chelsea Pferschy, David Griffiths, and my wife, Katie Bruno, for valuable feedback as I prepared this manuscript. Finally, thanks to the folks at Crossway, and in particular Dave DeWit and Greg Bailey, for their editorial help and commitment to God-glorifying, gospel-driven Christian books. I pray this book approaches that high standard.
