Looking for a book that will make you be enchanted with the beauty of the Bible? This book might do it for you! The author Andrew David Naselli is a professor of the New Testament at Bethlehem College & Seminary and he did a masterful job of showing how the Bible has the theme of a hero that fights a monster/dragon in a great epic that results in the rescue and deliverance of many people. This isn’t just a minor theme; rather it is a subject that spans the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation. I believe this book makes a unique contribution in biblical theology and as the book progresses I am convinced that Nasellis is right of how serpent slaying stories found in many legends around the world echoes the greatest story ever told in the Greatest book of all namely the Bible. It was not only educational but also a fun read!

Do you have a biblical view of God’s blessing? There are those today who get caught up with prosperity Gospel. That’s one error. But another error can arise that is born from over-reaction to the Prosperity Gospel in which God’s blessings are denies, downplayed or the subject is diverted. A biblical theology of blessing is much needed and I believe this book makes a unique contribution since most works against prosperity Gospel engages the topic more in a fashion of “systematic theology” but here with this book the author uses biblical theology in his methodology in tackling the blessing of God. This I think helps readers to see verses about blessing in its context and also in light of how God’s progressive revelation unfolded. The author is William R. Osborne , a Professor of biblical and theological studies at College of the Ozarks and he is more than qualified to write a biblical theology of God’s blessing from Genesis to Revelation.
