How Understanding God’s Story Changes Yours

How Understanding God’s Story Changes Yours

Author: The Gospel Coalition September 27, 2024 Duration: 37:48

The study of the grand narrative of Scripture isn't just an intellectual exercise; it's a transformative one. In this roundtable discussion, Kendra Dahl sits down with biblical theology experts Ben Gladd, Courtney Doctor, and Elizabeth Woodson to discuss how a Christ-centered understanding of Scripture illuminates our study of theology and our lives as Christians.

They discuss:

  • How discovering biblical theology impacted their lives
  • How the storyline of Scripture underpins theological categories
  • The importance of recognizing allusions to the Old Testament throughout the New Testament
  • Recommended resources for further study of the Bible's overarching narrative
