The Drama of Redemption: Walking with Jesus from Creation to Canaan

How do you make the Bible, especially the Old Testament, relevant, interesting, and even exciting to your students? How do you avoid getting bogged down in all the events, commands, and applications? And how do you make the stories of those seemingly remote "heroes of faith" timely in the twenty-first century? The Drama of Redemption gives you the answer-bring Jesus into the story! Don't lose Him in the details. He is in the Garden of Eden, on Mount Moriah, and on Jacob's ladder. His shadow is in the Jewish feast days, in the tabernacle, and the Day of Atonement. His footprints are throughout the wilderness as God's people travel toward Canaan, and He leads the conquest of the Promised Land. Learn how to teach the Bible holistically, setting the Old Testament story in the overall plan and purpose of God. See yourself and your students walking with Jesus from Creation to Canaan.
