The story of the Bible can't be explained by our own. It comes not from humanity, but from God.
T. Desmond Alexander suggests that God has given us the reasons for creation and our existence in the Bible "by resolving an intricate plot that sheds light on the entire story." Starting from from the denouement, or resolution, in Revelation's last verses and working backward to the first pages of Genesis, Alexander pieces together the Bible's overarching plot. This introduction to biblical theology will make clear how, from Eden to the New Jerusalem, the story of creation is only complete when viewed as the story of God.

Personal stories aren't enough to offer individuals peace when they question their own existence. But the Bible's story comes not from humanity, but from God. Author, T. Desmond Alexander, suggests that God has given us the reasons for creation and our existence in the Bible. "by resolving an intricate plot that sheds light on the entire story," Alexander writes. Using this theory to start from the denouement, or resolution, in Revelation's last verses and work backward, Alexander pieces together the Bible's overarching plot. The resulting picture reveals the reasons for creation and life that have eluded those who seek to answer life's biggest questions without first placing themselves in God's story.
