Four Mountains: Encountering God in the Bible from Eden to Zion
Encounter Jesus on every page of the Bible
How can war stories, farming proverbs, and strange visions draw you closer to Jesus? In Four Mountains: Encountering God in the Bible from Eden to Zion, Michael Niebauer shows how to see the Bible’s big story and meet with God in his word.
Four mountain-top encounters with God (Eden, Sinai, Tabor, and Zion) unify the Bible’s grand story. The earliest Christians read Scripture with attentiveness to symbols and images like mountains and trees. Learning this method of reading helps us connect seemingly disparate stories and encounter God in his word. Gospel-rich, and Scripture-saturated, Four Mountains reveals how we can see Jesus on every page.
