Synopsis

This overview of the Bible provides readers with an aerial view of the landscape of Scripture, scouting the major truths of the promises of God. Originally delivered as sermons by pastor Mark Dever at Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington DC, these three studies are now available in one volume. Dever guides readers to take a step back and look at the Bible from a broader perspective. As we notice new features of an object when viewed from a distance, so too the major themes of Scripture become more apparent when we take in the Bible as a whole. Part of the IXMarks series, this book considers the central messages of the Bible as seen in the promises of God. Dever examines the general narrative of God's Word to answer the question, "What does God wants of us anyway?" Readers looking for a panoramic view of Scripture will be reminded of the faithful, persistent love of God and find themselves drawn into a broader, but deeper, understanding of the maker and keeper of promises.

Goodreads review by Neil

Mark Dever has given us a simple, but also an insightful overview of the Bible. The Promises Made to Promises Kept framework serves as an excellent summary of the emphasis of biblical revelation as the Scriptures progress from Old Testament to New Testament. This emphasis is a welcome focus as the f......more

Goodreads review by Joe

Excellent little book. Gives an overview of the entire Bible, with respective portions given to each testament. He also goes through and briefly (1-3 sentences) describes each singular book of the Bible. This will be a go to resource for handing out to Christians wanting a better grasp on how to kno......more

Goodreads review by Anete

I think this is especially useful for young christians and nonchristians to answer the question in the title and to get an idea what the Bible is really about. Mark Dever is easy to understand, and the book is quite short.......more
