Tracing God’s Story: An Introduction to Biblical Theology

An Accessible Guide to Biblical Theology by Pastor Jon Nielson

The Bible is comprised of 66 distinct books by 40 different authors-yet it tells one story. How do the events from the beginning of creation to the foundation of the church weave into one cohesive narrative? Through the study of biblical theology, we can gain a better understanding of how the Bible presents a clear and consistent storyline of the creator God and his redemptive work in the world.

Part of the Theology Basics series, Tracing God’s Story makes biblical theology clear, meaningful, and practical for those looking for a highly accessible guide to studying God’s word. Author and pastor Jon Nielson covers a wide range of stories from Genesis to Revelation, offering a big-picture application, verse-by-verse analysis, and a suggested memory verse for each Scripture passage. Ultimately readers will be encouraged to passionately study God’s great story until the day they join in the final chapter.

“How I wish I had grasped biblical theology long before I began to learn about it in my forties! What Jon Nielson has written in Tracing God’s Story is a concise account of the story the divine author has written in Scripture. While this book is economical with words, it is generous with insight. It presents the story simply but not simplistically. I look forward to recommending it to those who long to have a more solid grip on the Bible’s storyline.”
Nancy Guthrie, teacher, Biblical Theology Workshop for Women

“As in a novel, you can’t just dip into a page of the Bible and get the gist. Through all the diverse writings, what’s the through line? This is an outstanding and accessible introduction to the plot that keeps biblical history moving from Genesis to Revelation. I highly recommend this book.”
