The Whole Thing - by Jason English (Paperback)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

The Bible is often explained with an overwhelming emphasis on the brokenness of the world.

This is an attempt to teach the story of the entire Bible in a way that is simple, fresh and memorable, showing how the story isn't about brokenness, but wholeness.

This book does not explain everything.

It explains the whole thing.

Review Quotes

"Jason English writes with a spirit of awe. He welcomes his readers with a breath of fresh air. Through the eyes of a neo-rabbinical thinker, he weaves the prophetic language of both the Torah and the Gospel into a vernacular of using imagery to show the awesomeness of God, imaging himself throughout salvation history. His critical thinking and exegetical cleverness births a renewed look at reviewing Biblical history, prophetic orations, and wisdom literature. This is a must-read book."

-Dr. Harvey Shropshire, former Chairman of the Department of Religion at Barber-Scotia College, and former Professor of Biblical Languages at Charlotte Christian College and Theological Seminary.

The Whole Thing will motivate you to explore the Story afresh. I believe it holds the possibility of healing wounded relationships with the sacred text, for healing wounded relationships with the One who writes our stories.
