"The exposition of any text is incomplete until we understand its development from its historical-theological origins through to its fulfilment in Christ."

Graeme Goldsworthy's magnum opus invites us to reckon with the differing distances of texts from ourselves when thinking about the application of Scriptures in our own lives.

The book comprises four sections: - The Word of God - The Being of God - The Doing of God - The People of God

Throughout, Goldsworthy carefully explores major biblical themes and the crucial transitions that occur in the course of biblical history. Each chapter ends with a section summarizing it and offering practical heremeneutical implications.
