In the midst of the suffocating self-love of our postmodern culture, the Bible is clear that our real need is to know the God revealed in its pages--that we might satisfy our cravings for security (faith), purpose (hope) and acceptance (love) with the only thing that truly satisfies, God Himself. Yet the concept of studying biblical theology with its academic terminology and profound questions scares many Christians. In the tradition of Martyn Lloyd-Jones and John MacArthur, Scott Hafemann lets the Bible tell its own message, in words that speak clearly to every heart. This book provides a basic framework for understanding the Scriptures that will aid every reader and encourage them to take up the Bible for themselves to discover the secret and promise of contentment in God.

Hafemann has done an extraordinary service to the church by publishing his user friendly summary of biblical theology. Having both the influences of Daniel Fuller and Meredith Kline in one biblical theologian is too much to ask for generally. But Hafemann weaves their broad and great themes into his own thought seamlessly. It is rare to find a seminary professor that cares as much about his exegesis of Scripture as he does about his exultation in God; but we find that in this book. This is a great book to use in small groups, bible studies, and personal edification in order to understand the Scripture as a whole.
