Blurb

With a Christological focus, the author traces the unfolding of God's redemptive plan through twelve epochs, stressing analysis, synthesis, and application in his study of each period. With this tri-focal approach in place, in each of the twelve epochs the author considers the Bible's respective literary forms, the canonical function, and the redemptive historical significance of each period in the light of God's purposes in all the other stages of redemption. A helpful and useful book but one which does not have a clear enough view of the structure of biblical theology and of whether the relationship between the epochs is more than sequential.
