What is the Bible Basically About?

Who is this Alpha and Omega?

www.sxc.hu/No compromise

Above is a stained glass depiction of the Alpha and the Omega - the first and the last letters of the Greek alphabet.

Who is this Alpha and Omega? (Hint: The Lamb and the Cross are a giveaway.)

A bigger question: What is the Bible really about? (Another hint: The video below gives a succinct summary and great overview of the Bible)

(clip from: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkNa6tLWrqk)

The revelation from Jesus Christ

...
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”

Revelation 1:8 (NIV)

The Bible ... It's all about Jesus ...

... For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus.

Revelation 19:10 (NIV)

Thanks, Ronald, for your thoughtful and honest comments. I respect that, a lot

I found Keller's comments consistent with J. Vernon McGee's Five Year Bible Study. (ttb.org) It's about your world view and who you believe Jesus really is.

I just watched the video and find Tim Keller very disturbing. Apparently, Keller has all the answers. Weak people follow authoritative people like Tim Keller because they find scholarship difficult and would rather fall back on something old and apparently invincible like the Bible, interpreted by someone else rather than think for themselves. In other words, genuflect.

I like the story of Jesus very much. He apparently was very humble and fine man. Sorry, I don't buy it. The son of God part, that is.
