While every character, story, and book of Scripture is significant in itself, stepping back for a broad, panoramic view of the entire Bible helps us to take in and understand God's single, unified plan for human history.
In this second of a two-part panorama of the Bible, noted Scripture scholar Stephen Binz shows us how all of the Bible's many parts fit together in a grand and awesome narrative. With a clear vision of this sweeping unity, we can then understand far better our own place within the storyline and our own personal role within the mission of God.

In his Panorama of the Bible: New Testament, Stephen Binz offers
his readers two invaluable services: First, he succinctly gives us
background information and content summaries of the books he
discusses, thus enabling us to understand what the original
inspired authors were teaching. In addition, he constantly reminds
us that Scripture is a living word that is speaking to us in the
context of our own lives. When we understand both the original
revelation and the living word we can better realize that the story
of God's salvation is not over; we are living out that story right
now.Margaret Nutting Ralph PhD, is the author of seventeen books on
Scripture, including Breaking Open the Lectionary for cycles A, B,
and C
This slender volume by the well-known biblical writer Stephen Binz
is aptly named a `Panorama' of the Bible. Its goal is to give the
lay reader acquaintance with the overarching message of salvation
that courses through the diverse books of the Bible. It is an
account of the distinctive features of each New Testament book and
the theological motifs that run through each of them, while at the
same time forming a cohesive overall message among them.The Bible
