A new and imaginative approach to the Bible as the archetypal saga of how God works among and within people at different stages of their growth toward spiritual maturity, showing how the Christian faith is (in Lesslie Newbigin's words) "the clue to all history - the history of the world, and the history of my own soul."The Bible is explored in the light both of depth psychology and of some years' experience of living and working in the Holy Land, where it all began, and where the biblical drama is still going on. Mission and discipleship are seen to be inextricably intertwined: something of great relevance in the Decade of Evangelism.This book will be welcomed particularly by those who work in the field of counselling and anyone concerned with growth in discipleship and with mission.
