What is the Bible all about?

There is little doubt that God’s Word, the Bible, has been one of the most, if not the most, influential books in all of history. How are we to understand the Bible? The Bible is filled with different characters, complex storylines, and different styles of writing. If we are first opening the Bible, it can seem overwhelming. However, weaved throughout the Bible is an overarching story; the story of Jesus and the story of promise.
