Quotes by Sandra L. Richter  (?)

“The Bible is the saga of Yahweh and Adam, the prodigal son and his ever gracious heavenly father; humanity in their rebellion and God in his grace. This narrative begins with Eden and does not conclude until the New Jerusalem is firmly in place. It is all one story. And if you are a believer, it is all your story.”
Sandra L. Richter, The Epic of Eden: A Christian Entry into the Old Testament

“To mix metaphors, with the covenant of Noah the paramedic successfully reaches the fallen climber; with the covenant of Abraham triage is done and the climber is lowered down the cliff; with the covenants of Moses and David the airlift is accomplished and surgery begins; with the covenant of Jesus the surgery is successful and the vigil begins—will our rescued climber endure to the end?”
Sandra L. Richter, The Epic of Eden: A Christian Entry into the Old Testament

“THE BIBLE, IN ALL ITS PARTS, IS INTENDED to communicate to humanity the realities of redemption. Over”
Sandra L. Richter, The Epic of Eden: A Christian Entry into the Old Testament
