From those first words flows the foundational narrative of the entire Bible — and in this opening volume of The Holy Bible series, the Book of Genesis is finally given room to breathe. This is not a paraphrase, and not a replacement for Scripture. The sacred text remains at the center of every chapter, drawn faithfully from the American Standard Version, with a rich narrative reflection woven around it — illuminating the people, the places, and the promises without ever displacing the words themselves.

In this comprehensive exposition, a leading New Testament scholar explores the unfolding theological unity of the entire Bible from the vantage point of the New Testament. G. K. Beale, coeditor of the award-winning Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament, examines how the New Testament storyline relates to and develops the Old Testament storyline. Beale argues that every major concept of the New Testament is a development of a concept from the Old and is to be understood as a facet of the inauguration of the latter-day new creation and kingdom.

The Book of Revelation consists of 404 verses that contain over 800 allusions to the Old Testament. These are detailed, along with Chuck's analysis of the design and structure of this fascinating book.
