Trace God's Plan of Redemption Through the Old Testament Do you find the Old Testament historical books challenging or confusing? Have you ever struggled to get through these sections of God's Word or wondered why they matter for us today? Many of us view the Old Testament as something we read simply because we've been told it's good for us. But when we uncover the unfolding story of redemption within these books, we see a theological vision that points us to Jesus. Unfolding Redemption helps readers trace God's story of redemption through the historical books of the Old Testament and discover its fulfillment in Christ. As readers dive deeper, they'll gain a richer understanding of the gospel and see its vibrant connections throughout Scripture. This book makes the theology of the Old Testament accessible and approachable, showing how these books fit together to tell a larger story that culminates in Christ. Biblical scholar Ian Vaillancourt unpacks themes like

- settling God's redeemed people in Joshua, - delivering God's redeemed people in Judges, - preserving God's redeemed people in Esther, - hope for the ultimate redemption in 1 and 2 Chronicles, and more. Vaillancourt guides readers through the Old Testament's historical books with a clear and intentional approach, revealing how every part of the story leads to Jesus. Unfolding Redemption is an excellent introductory textbook, and is ideal for pastors or Bible teachers as well as groups looking to study the Bible more deeply.
