The Bible’s Greatest Hits: Top Sixty-Six Passages from Genesis to Revelation
From the creation story of Genesis to the new heaven and new earth of Revelation, The Bible's Greatest Hits contains the top sixty-six passages in Holy Scripture. Presbyterian pastor and novelist Henry G. Brinton invites readers into discussion and debate as he reveals the significance of these passages and connects them to contemporary life. Some readers will disagree with Brinton's selections, just as music fans dispute the choices on a greatest-hits album, but all will gain a new appreciation for the richness of scriptural insights found in the full range of biblical books, from the well-known to the obscure. Written for both private devotion and group discussion, The Bible's Greatest Hits includes the best in biblical scholarship as well as practical connections to daily life, along with questions for reflection at the end of each chapter. The book gives Christian youths and adults an introduction to the major characters and stories of Holy Scripture, as it links their daily lives to the Bible's most important moral and theological insights. Readers will gain the satisfaction of increased biblical literacy while being shaped by the most transformative passages from Genesis to Revelation in the course of their ongoing faith development.
“What a wonderful way to hit the highlights of God’s Word! An
engaging and knowledgeable writer, Henry Brinton guides us on a
fruitful journey through the top sixty-six passages from Genesis to
Revelation. I can’t wait to use this book with a Bible study
group—as well as in my own devotional time.”
—Peter M. Wallace, author of The Passionate Jesus
“In this small but powerful book, Henry Brinton has opened up the
Bible in surprising
and insightful ways. In passages that may be familiar to readers,
Brinton finds unexpected
treasures. This book will make you hungry to consume Scripture,
which then can metabolize as acts of mercy, compassion, and
love.”
—Bill Tammeus, author of Love, Loss and
Endurance: A 9/11 Story of Resilience and Hope in an Age of
Anxiety
“The Bible’s Greatest Hits may become author,
pastor, and scholar Henry Brinton’s greatest hit! It’s a book to
which one can refer again and again, and is perfect for Bible study
groups or for simple enjoyment and edification. The usual texts are
included (Ps 23, John 3, Acts 2), but who knew that Nahum could be
so memorable? The Bible’s Greatest Hits belongs on the
bookshelf of every serious student of Scripture.”
—Timothy Merrill, pastor of Trinity Congregation, Shanghai
“Brinton writes with a columnist’s eagle eye and a preacher’s fiery
heart. Students of Scripture will be awed by his perceptive summary
of major themes. Preachers will find his seamless weaving of
biblical visions with current issues refreshing and compelling.
Every chapter is a smashing hit. Once started, this brilliant book
is hard to put down.”
—John Yieh, Virginia Theological Seminary
