A friendly ice-breaking question on an airplane, gave Mark S Young the motivation to write "What the Bible is All About" (Our Daily Bread Publishing, 2021) and Christians around the world will be glad he took the time to write out an orderly, thoughtful and fully biblical answer.
As president of Denver Seminary, Young obviously has communicated the content of the Bible for years in various contexts. Young is no stranger to sharing his faith either, having served cross-culturally in evangelism and church planting. Yet as the tried to answer a stranger's question, he embarrassingly realized he couldn't give a short summary of what the most important book in his life was about.
In eleven readable and theologically rich chapters, Young answers this question methodically and clearly. Without getting into potential areas where Christians have differences of understanding, Young explains each element of the Bible's narrative. He weaves in a few illustrations to assist in the explanations, but does wander from the key focus of each chapter. While there is nothing particularly "new" about his answer, the way the author systematically unfolds the Bible's Grand Story is both powerful and practical. Chapter 11 itself has so many powerful quotes!
I highly recommend any Christian read this book so that you too can answer the question "What's the Bible all about anyway?" when an encounter takes place in the office, on the golf course, in an airplane or wherever. Furthermore, as a textbook for a Christian high school course introducing students to theology or as a first year college theology textbook, it is accessible (readable) and covers the core doctrines. It could also be used by churches for the same audiences.

The Bible has been used in various ways by various people. Therefore, people have assigned it various definitions. However, the author provides a well-written description of the Bible’s true purpose—a plan for redemption.
This would be excellent for personal study or group discussion.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book provided by the publisher and Net Galley but the thoughts expressed are my own.
