Two leading biblical scholars and bestselling authors offer a fresh approach to the question of the unity of the whole Bible. This book shows that God''s desire to be with his people is a thread running from Genesis through Revelation. Duvall and Hays make the case that God''s relational presence is central to the Bible''s grand narrative. It is the cohesive center that drives the whole biblical story and ties together other important biblical themes, such as covenant, kingdom, glory, and salvation history.
