    The Big Story

    Trace themes and the storyline of redemption across the whole Bible, from Genesis to Revelation.

    "Beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. - Luke 24:27"
    — Bible Study Guide

    Biblical theology traces how God's plan of redemption unfolds across the whole Bible. From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture tells one unified story: creation, fall, redemption, and restoration. Understanding this "big picture" helps us see how each part fits the whole and why Christ is the center of all Scripture.

    The covenants form the backbone of this story - with Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, and ultimately the New Covenant in Christ. All Scripture points to Jesus.

    In this topic, you'll learn to read the Bible as one unified story with Christ at the center.

    Minor:The New Testament reveals how these are fulfilled in Christ.

    First Principles (Archai)

    The Bible is one unified story, not a collection of unrelated books.

    God is the ultimate author behind the human authors.

    All Scripture points to and finds fulfillment in Christ.

    The storyline moves from creation to new creation.

    Understanding the whole helps interpret the parts.
