The Road to Redemption: A Chronological Overview of the Old Testament
Most surveys of the Old Testament treat the books one by one in canonical order, but this often leaves readers confused about how these books relate to one another. The Road to Redemption is an effort to address that problem by treating the books of the Old Testament in chronological order. This involves interspersing the books of poetry and prophecy where they fit as we move through the events recorded in the books of history. In addition to helping readers see how the books of the Old Testament connect in time, this text also emphasizes how they convey the single great message of God's saving work, and therefore point toward the coming of Christ.

Furthermore, how can anyone believe in a supposedly-loving God who would consign uncounted numbers of His human creatures to eternal torment in the fires of Hell? The book seeks to provide biblical answers to these questions, not only to equip Christians to respond to critics, but also to give comfort to those who are suffering and tempted to ask why God would allow them to do so.
