The Unfolding book and album present the centrality of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in the overarching storyline of God’s Word.
"The Unfolding" is a “helicopter ride” over redemptive history in order to see how the various themes of the Bible connect to the person and work of Jesus Christ. Along with that, The Unfolding is a “scuba-diving mission” for the listener and reader as we dive deep into specific Biblical texts in order to understand the depths of the glory of Christ in all of Scripture.
Each song from The Unfolding album is further unpacked in a corresponding chapter in The Unfolding book to provide an exegetical basis along with application questions for enriching pastors, Bible-teachers, seminary students, and any Bible-hungry Christian.
Creative idea. Love that it comes with soundtrack. Might be good book for group study (high school?) in place of Kline and Beale. Sort of reads like a seminary paper though.
I loved this book. I had been waiting to read it for almost a year and a half, and it was worth it. The album is probably my favorite album right now (if not, it’s a close second). The idea of rapping a biblical theology is unique and glorious. My familiarity with the album meant that much of the book was not new, but there was still much fresh content. Brindle did an excellent job showing how the biblical authors connected the storyline of Scripture with words and ideas, climaxing and fulfilling all of them in Christ. Praise Him for all that He has done, written, and explained!
There is much technical language in this book, but it could still serve someone new to biblical theology well.
