"This book throws welcome light on living 'between the times' of Christ's resurrection victory and its consummation in the oncoming kingdom of God."--Richard John Neuhaus, author of American Babylon: Notes of a Christian Exile"Michael Dauphinais and Matthew Levering's reading of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation provides a much-needed focus on scripture's theological meaning as a basis for instruction in Christian doctrine. Inspired by St. Augustine, Dauphinais and Levering read the Bible theologically. Following Augustine's catechetical approach to the Bible (as distinct from a 'biblical theology'), the authors illuminate central points rather than get lost in the myriad biblical details. They seek the 'meaning of God's plan for human history as revealed in the Bible.' Written from a Catholic catechetical and theological perspective but informed by sound ecumenical exegesis, this book will nourish one's Christian faith in the biblical story and perspective on reality in response to today's dominant secularistic, ideological, or relativistic worldviews. It will also whet readers' appetites to go to the Bible for further nourishment by God's Word.
