"Every once in a while a book comes along that immediately meets a real need. This is one of those books . . ." -- Canadian Evangelical Review
Bartholomew and Goheen have produced a clear and theologically sensitive account of the Bible that is perfect for college students or adult Bible study groups. * Christopher Seitz, Senior Research Professor Wycliffe College, University of Toronto *
"The promising kernel of this book, however, offers a prospectus for New Testament theology that supporters will acclaim as ground-breaking, and dissenters should acknowledge as worth arguing over rather than merely dismissing." -- A. K. M. Adam * Journal Compilation; Blackwell Publishing Ltd *
"Many Christians lack a grasp of the overall pattern of God's revelation in Scripture and so have little idea how the different books of the Bible fit into this 'big picture'. Bartholomew and Goheen's book will serve to remedy that defect. -- David McKay * The Covenanter Witness *
