Scripture referenced:
“The point of the book as a whole is that the word of God is triumphantly getting out and is moving from Jerusalem to Rome; and from there, it can go anywhere…
The triumph of what Acts calls the word of God: the message of the gospel.”

Dr. Mark Chavalas, Dr. Wendy Widder, and Dr. Kevin Zuber join Michael to wrap up The Big Book—Cover to Cover with a discussion about the value of studying and understanding scripture as a whole, from Genesis to Revelation.
Dr. Mark Hitchcock joins Michael to discuss the complex and valuable book: Revelation.
It’s remarkable to step back on this Big Book and see that it begins and ends with connections that are impossible to ignore. In this episode, Michael teaches an overview of the book of Revelation.
