Story of Redemption, The

Back by popular demand, The Kingdom of God: A Baptist Expression of Covenant and Biblical Theology has been revised and expanded into two separate but complimentary books: The Kingdom of God (Volume 1) and The Story of Redemption (Volume 2).

Revised and expanded for the benefit of teens and younger age groups.

How do the Old and New Testaments relate to each other? How do God’s covenants work together to form a unified message? It is easy to lose sight of the overarching message of Scripture when working through its various passages. We often forget that Scripture is the narrative of God’s divine interaction in human history that has an awful beginning and a glorious conclusion. From start to finish, the Bible points to a single hero. It shows us that God works through covenants, and all the Old and New Testament covenants work together to accomplish a single objective. The Story of Redemption is the most extraordinary story ever told. It is a story of the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is the story of the rise, fall, and restoration of the Kingdom of God through the efforts of a single man.

Honest. Heartbreaking. Beautiful. Thrilling. These words kept rolling through my mind while reading this book. This is not a syrupy history of the world. Rather Jeffrey Johnson shows the dark underbelly of sin and Satan’s rage against the seed of the woman. He deftly condenses and summarizes the flow of redemptive history in common language, explaining complex things so that even children can understand. This book will be edifying for the most mature saint and the babe in Christ at the same time. In reading it, you will learn the profound nuances of the law and gospel across the whole span of redemptive history. You will be heartbroken over the damage of sin. You will be terrified at the rage of Satan. You will see why we must turn to Christ. Read this book, and then read it to your children and grandchildren. Open their eyes to the backdrop of history and the grave danger they are in if they do not follow the Lamb wherever He goes. — Scott T.
