the book that i'm writing that i'll really never get around to

Teaching has really made me want to write a book. I don't have cute letters in front of my name so it will likely not happen. I've got a thorough bibliography, a table of contents, specific charts and paradigms, a thesis, etc, etc.

I want it to be a book that that appropriately blends reading the Scriptures narratively, doctrinally, devotionally, and theologically. My title would be "A King and A Kingdom: God's Story of Grace and Truth."

I've bounced the idea off several people. And, of course, my students are all thumbs up. We shall see. Here are the chapters:

1. Scripture [what it is and what it isn't]
2. Glory [the grand goal of it all]
3. Inclusio [the royal narrative oreo]
4. Covenant [the relational remedy]
5. Covenant(s) [the story unfolds]
6. Jesus [the covenants fulfilled]
7. Gospel [the kingdom is here]
8. Soteriology [this all means something about Salvation]
9. Pneumatology [this all means something about the Spirit]
10. Ecclesiology [this all means something about the Church]
11. Eschatology [this all means something about the End]
