A Brief Bible History: A Survey of the Old and New Testaments

A concise survey traces the sweep of biblical history, beginning with ancient origins and the patriarchal narratives, proceeding through bondage and deliverance, lawgiving, conquest, the era of judges, the rise and division of monarchy, prophetic activity, exile and restoration; it then presents the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of the Messiah and follows the emergence of the early Christian community, its initial persecutions, missionary journeys, and principal apostolic letters, with chapters organized as brief lessons for classroom use or general readers.
