Publisher's summary

Living God's Word is your pathway to read the bible as it was meant to be read: as God's great story. Many Christians resolve to study the bible more fervently, but often struggle to grasp the progression of scripture as a whole. They encounter various passages each week through unrelated readings, studies, and sermons, and it all feels disconnected. But once they see the bible as God's great story, they begin to understand how it all fits together and they start see how their own lives fit into what God has done and is doing in the world.

In Living God's Word, Second Edition, New Testament scholar J. Scott Duvall and Old Testament expert J. Daniel Hays help Christians consider how their lives can be integrated into the story of the Bible, thus enabling them to live faithfully in deep and important ways. Living God's Word explores the entire Bible through broad themes that trace the progression of God's redemptive plan. Each section deals with a certain portion of Scripture's story and includes:

  • Reading/listening preparation
  • Explanation
  • Summary
  • Observations about theological significance
  • Connections to the great story
  • Written assignments for further study

These features - combined with the authors' engaging style - make Living God's Word an ideal book for those who want to understand the Bible better, for introductory college courses, Sunday school electives, or small group study. Further enhance the learning experience with the Living God's Word WORKBOOK (sold separately) which contains additional questions and exercises to help you reflect on the topics in Living God's Word.

Accompanying images, tables, discussion questions, writing assignments, further reading, and memory verses are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Comprehensive View of Scripture

This is an excellent book the covers the entire Bible from beginning to end with the overarching story in mind. Perfect read for mature Christians or those who just want to see what the Bible is about.

Excellent message and presentation.

The authors present the one message of the Bible as the super highway and build the “great story” from its beginning to the end helping the reader to accelerate and get up to speed.
This message is not some hypothetical story, but practical ending with exhortations to become part of the story moving the reader from asking, “What kind of mission does God have for me?” to “What kind of ME does God want for his mission?
This is a great group study or preaching schedule. Totally enjoyed, edified and exhorted.

Great truths of the Bible

For the audio version of the book it would be best to leave the Bible references out. It interrupts the flow of the book and can be frustrating to listen to.
I bought the hardcover to study and the audio to listen, but found it completely frustrating to listen to. Sorry
