The story of the Bible
Creation: there's a good Creator who makes the whole universe and the people who live in it
Crisis: humans reject God
Calling: God reaches out to Abraham (blessed to be a blessing)
Communication: the bulk of the Bible is written as Abraham's descendants relate to God
Christ: Jesus shows up on the scene to reconcile people to God
Cross: Jesus dies to actuate the reconciliation
Church: communities of people trying to follow Jesus
Consummation: history ends
