Bible Understanding

This is a very good book, and anyone wishing to get their bearings with exiles, kings, prophets and apocalypse would benefit from reading it. God’s Big Picture traces the story of God’s kingdom through the Bible in a much simpler way than Graeme Goldsworthy does, although I suspect that Vaughan Roberts wishes to whet appetites for Goldsworthy’s more meaty volume rather than to replace it.

I, like most Christians, find it difficult to read those parts of the Bible that I do not immediately understand. The book of Revelation is the most obvious candidate for confusion. If your experience of reading Revelation is anything like mine, I thoroughly recommend The Lamb Wins.

Chris Wright's book is a very readable overview of God's work of salvation, which is the major theme of the Bible and the life of the Christian. It is not all theorizing: Wright addresses issues such as ethics and living as people saved by the blood of the Lamb. Ali Gledhill recommends that you take half and hour a day for a week to read this book, reflecting on the God who saves.
