Welcome to the Bible Project Podcast. On today's episode, Tim and I are going to be asking

the question, how would you summarize the entire story of the Bible?

The Bible is big and complex and has way too many characters. How can possibly keep

all this straight?

Yet the Bible is one unified story, a story about humanity's role to rule the world on

God's behalf. This vocational calling is what we refer to as the image of God. And

it's a high bar, it gives humans a lot of authority and a lot of power.

A question that's on everybody's mind right now is what does it mean to use power responsibly?

The story of the Bible is how that calling has been corrupted and how God's on a mission

to fix it.

How Jesus redefines power and his teaching and his life is scandalous, but it's also wise,

like it's, as he claimed, the only way forward.

The entire story of the Bible is summarized. Thanks for listening in. Here we go.

So we're going to talk about the Bible as a unified story and we're going to try to walk

through the whole story and make a video that tells that story in five minutes.

Yeah.

That's the plan.

One video telling the whole story of the Bible.

We've been asked to make this before.

No pressure.

Yeah, no pressure.

We have been asked to make this video and I think we've both always wanted to make it
