Michael Easley Incontext

How does the entire Bible fit together? In this episode of inContext, Michael Easley sits down with New Testament scholar Alan Thompson, author of A Basic Guide to Biblical Theology, to explore how Scripture unfolds as one unified story. They unpack the difference between exegesis, biblical theology, and systematic theology—and explain why context is king when reading the Bible. You’ll learn how the major covenants (Abrahamic, Mosaic, Davidic, and New) progressively reveal God’s redemptive plan, how Jesus fulfills those promises, and what He meant when He said the Kingdom of God was “at hand.” They also explore the “now and not yet” tension in the New Testament, the meaning of inheriting the Kingdom, the Exodus as a pattern of redemption, temple imagery throughout Scripture, and the breathtaking vision of the holy city in Revelation 21. If you want to grow deeper in your understanding of Scripture—and think theologically about your faith—this conversation will strengthen your confidence in God’s Word.Subsc
