For over a decade I taught a bible survey class, and for over a decade Telling God's Story was my textbook of choice. As they unpack the narrative of Scripture, veteran professors Preben Vang and Terry Carter adroitly balance the necessary ingredients for each story with the poignant theological implications thereof. Consequently, my students were biblically and theologically informed without being overwhelmed or bored. --Joseph R. Dodson, associate professor of New Testament, Denver Seminary Simple but not simplistic. Sweeping without sweeping issues under the rug. A grand introduction for readers who are new to the Bible or have only read the Bible in disconnected Sunday snippets. Like Goldilocks, readers will find this book 'just right, ' not too much and not too little. --Randy Richards, provost and chief academic officer, Palm Beach Atlantic University

Just as a hiker needs a map to guide them along their way, so Bible readers need 'terrain maps' to set each story, law, prophecy, psalm, and letter in its proper context. Telling God's Story, by Preben Vang and Terry Carter, is a clear, accurate, and engaging guidebook for God's story. Its readable narrative and helpful photos, maps, and charts will lead readers through the twists and turns of the grand drama--from creation to new creation. In this third and expanded edition, a great book gets even better."" --Mark Strauss, university professor of New Testament, Bethel Seminary"
