Long Story Short introduces the Christian Scriptures not as a complex list of rules or doctrines, but as a single drama-a script-in six easy-to-remember movements: creation, fall, Israel, Jesus, church, and new creation. With this simple plotline in place, readers will not only better understand how the little stories of the Bible fit together into a seamless whole, they will also be compelled to step into the drama to be part of its performance.
