Thomas Schreiner walks through the Bible book by book, following the storyline of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation and asking what each book contributes to the whole. The organizing theme is the kingdom of God: God reigning as King, the rebellion of his creatures, and his work to reclaim a people and a creation for himself, so that the Bible is read as one unfolding account rather than a collection of separate deposits of doctrine.

Schreiner is a trusted voice for students and pastors, and he writes here at length but accessibly, keeping the exegetical work visible without turning the book into a commentary. It serves as a biblical theology textbook, as a companion for anyone reading through Scripture, and as a corrective to the habit of preaching texts in isolation from the story they belong to.
