- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Fr. Roberts provides a thematic exploration of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. This book is a good choice for a Bible study group; however, the one I would recommend, if one wants to learn about the major themes of the Bible as one proceeds through the various books, is The Kingdom of God by John Bright.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A more mature read than (Grandpa's Box) of solid Biblical Theology. This book gives a good foundation in seeing how the entire Bible holds together and how each of the books of the Bible are all aiming at the one central person (Christ Jesus) and one central message (Salvation through Jesus) and one central goal (Kingdom restoration). Vaughan Roberts does a good job taking very complex themes and concepts and in bite sized teachings shows the unity of God's word. Roberts has learned this subject from some of the more capable minds that have handled the topic of Biblical Theology for decades.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Good overview of the bible, albeit in very broad strokes, utilizing the metanarrative framework of the kingdom of God. Intended as a limited introductory text it has its theological and exegetical strengths and its weaknesses but remains a decent book for someone very new to the bible.
