Synopsis

Thomas Schreiner, a respected scholar and a trusted voice for many students and pastors, offers a substantial and accessibly written overview of the whole Bible. He traces the storyline of the scriptures from the standpoint of biblical theology, examining the overarching message that is conveyed throughout. Schreiner emphasizes three interrelated and unified themes that stand out in the biblical narrative: God as Lord, human beings as those who are made in God's image, and the land or place in which God's rule is exercised. The goal of God's kingdom is to see the king in his beauty and to be enraptured in his glory.

Goodreads review by Liam on June 30, 2023

This is a heavy, gloriously rich, deeply Christ centered tome of a book! It took me over a year (and a few years of dabbling before working up the courage to start!) to get through it. The King in His Beauty is an absolutely fantastic gospel centered, Christ centered, biblical theology through all o......more

Goodreads review by Nate on December 04, 2013

This is a great theological overview of the Bible. Schreiner engages key themes and spends more time on......more
