In this chapter, I offer concise CliffsNotes on the big plotlines of the Bible. We’ll zoom the lens out, for a multi-angle view of God’s redemptive work in history, an overall sense of what God has done in the world. And, by implication, a sense of what God is doing in the world, right now (and what he might be doing in your life and in mine). After sketching seven basic plots found in the Bible, I will zoom the lens in, with a personal illustration of how the macro-story of Scripture can intersect the micro-story of everyday life.
