About this ebook
Written by Scribd Editors
The Promise and the Blessing by Michael Harbin connects the dots of the Old and New Testament books to reveal the full historical sweep of the Bible. Organized chronologically, the book traces Israel’s history and shows how the New Testament flows out of the Old.
The history begins with God’s creation of the cosmos and the fall of man. Then it follows God’s actions as he first selects one man, Abraham, then his line, and then the nation of Israel to be his chosen people. Then it focuses on the Messiah himself and looks at how the gospel of Jesus was spread.
Harbin is the Chair of Biblical Studies, Christian Education, and Philosophy department at Taylor University. The Promise and the Blessing is designed for Old and New Testament survey classes and will provide students of the Bible with a better understanding of how the historical drama that began in the Garden of Eden continues through Israel’s history to the life of Christ.
