Biblical Theology: The Story of the Christ covers the overall biblical storyline and shows in detail how the entire Bible ultimately is about Christ. This book does what no other book on biblical theology does: it details Christ's pre-incarnate appearances in the Old Testament, how he appears in prophecy, and how he appears typologically. More than that, the book shows how Christ is the fulfillment of all that Old Testament Israel and its major institutions were pointing to, including the Abrahamic, Davidic, and new covenants, the nation itself, the tabernacle and temple, sacrificial system and priesthood, law, Sabbath, and feasts. Because Jesus Christ is at the heart of the biblical story, is its main character, and holds the entire Bible together, the book concludes with two important appendices: Appendix 1 shows how Christ is fully God and fully man and discusses why that is important; Appendix 2 explains the Christian doctrine that God is Trinity, showing how that idea is neither incoherent nor illogical but clearly emerges from the Bible and is reasonably understandable. In fact, because God is Trinity, trinitarian concepts have been designed into all levels of reality, from the microscopic to the macroscopic.
