We believe that the Bible is a unified story that leads to Jesus. This is not just a memorable phrase—this is the shorthand for a robust paradigm for engaging the Bible.

It’s a summary of our attempt to read the Bible the way it was designed to be read. When we come to a text with our own presuppositions or expectations, we often misunderstand what it was designed to communicate, or we misuse the text to do things for which it wasn’t designed.
