When you read the Bible, do you always understand what you're reading? Like any skill worth mastering, interpreting Scripture well takes guidance and practice. In this accessible book, respected New Testament scholar Andreas Köstenberger helps readers learn to read the Bible more deeply and coherently from the very people who wrote the New Testament in the first place.

The New Testament wasn't written in isolation; its nine authors were shaped by their shared world and their deep knowledge of the Old Testament. Understanding these connections is at the heart of biblical theology, which will help you gain a clearer sense of Scripture's overarching narrative and discover how the Bible forms one unified story that converges in Jesus.

As you learn to read the Bible contextually, you'll deepen your understanding of God and experience the joy of studying Scripture as an interconnected, life-giving conversation--just as the inspired writers themselves once did.
