This is our 9th episode in this series which is entitled “The Bible: Cornerstone and Context.” As we have gone through this series we have seen that Jesus is the not only the cornerstone of the Bible but he is the cornerstone of creation and history. Not surprisingly, the Bible is the only book that helps to clearly see and understand Jesus’ role as the cornerstone of everything that exists. And part of the way scripture helps us to do that is that scripture has several clear and consistent themes that are woven throughout the Bible. Two themes that weave throughout the Bible are the restraint of sin and the promotion of abundant and holy living. Two themes that are ever present in the Old Testament are the preparation of a tribe and family that would produce a Messiah and the preparation of the world to receive the Messiah. Then, in the New Testament – after the Messiah has come for the first time, a new theme emerges. And that is the preparation of the world and cosmos for the Messiah’s second and final arrival on this earth. Today we’re going to begin the wrap up of the series. To help us as we begin the wrap we have RD Fierro back with us in the studio. RD is an author and the founder of Crystal Sea Books. RD, Jesus is the cornerstone of scripture and God gave us consistent themes throughout all the books of the Bible to help us understand that.
This is episode 277.
This is our 8th episode in a series we are calling “The Bible: Cornerstone and Context.” Just about everyone who has spent much time with the Bible quickly realizes that the Bible is home to a wide variety of literature types including history, prophecy, poetry, and practical principles. But these many different types of literature do not take away from the Bible’s unity. The Bible is a unified whole. The unity and harmony that bind the Bible demonstrate clearly that it is the product of an omniscient mind, God’s mind. The various books of the Bible were penned by their various human authors during a period that stretched over 1,500 years. Only an eternal Being who knew all human history from beginning to end could have inspired the human writers over such a period. This is one of the reasons that it is so helpful for us to have a firm framework to guide our study and understanding. To help us with our discussion is RD Fierro, an author and the founder of Crystal Sea Books. RD, you will hear some people talk about “systematic theology.” What is systematic theology?

We’re so happy to be back with you on Anchored by Truth as we continue a series we are call “The Bible: Cornerstone and Context.” This series is designed to help our listeners absorb the Bible’s timeless wisdom more readily. The Bible contains a wide variety of literature types including history, prophecy, poetry, and practical principles. But despite the many type of literature in the Bible, it is a unified whole. As we have said throughout this series, the Bible is a single story about a single plan centered on a single man. The Bible contains a remarkable unity which demonstrates clearly that it is the product of an omniscient mind. The Bible is the special revelation of that Mind to men and women. Why would God have gone to so much trouble? As is often said, God did it for our good and His glory. So, back with us today as we continue the discussion is RD Fierro, an author and the founder of Crystal Sea Books. RD, what is the cornerstone of the Bible. And what are some of the themes that provide a context we can use to better understand the Bible – the themes that weave throughout scripture and create a beautiful tapestry out of the threads that are the individual books and accounts?
