This project was designed to aid in understanding and communicating the Bible's big picture. Chapter 1 presents the purpose, goals, ministry context, project rationale, definitions, limitations, and delimitation of the project.

Chapter 2 establishes the biblical foundations for the project, expositing key passages (Luke 24; John 1; Luke 4; Eph 1) that demonstrate the continuity of the testaments. Additionally, it surveys the ultimate design of God's creation and traces five elements of Jesus' work through the Bible.

Chapter 3 focuses on the theoretical foundations for the project. The works of Hamilton and Goldsworthy contribute to this project's theory, while the works of Greidanus and Chapell contribute a methodological approach to appropriate the theory this project proposes.

Chapter 4 provides an account of the steps that were taken to carry out the project.

Chapter 5 is an evaluation of the effectiveness of the project and consideration for the project's improvement.
