Jesus and the unfolding drama

The Christian faith is gospel-driven at its core, with an unfolding drama from Genesis to Revelation. Far from a catalogue of eternal principles and timeless truths, the Bible is proclaimed by the apostles as the history of God’s redemptive purposes. There is genuine movement from creation to the fall to the long and often winding path from the promise of a redeemer to its fulfillment in Jesus Christ.
