Newbign seems to put an emphasis on three (among others) major aspects of the Bible. That is, the fall, the story of Exodus and Moses, and the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The first key moment was the fall of Adam and Eve. I think that Newbign chose to highlight this portion of the Bible because it is in the light of this story that the rest of the Bible takes place. Without the fall there would be no need for the exodus or the death and resurrection of Christ.
The second key moment I noticed was the story of Moses and his people’s journey. Through their escape of Egypt, journey, and eventual arrival at the Promised Land, Newbign is able to emphasize the spiritual journey God’s chosen people went through and to see God’s continual mercy towards them.
The third key moment that I think newbign chose as one of the most important aspects of the Bible is the birth, death, and resurrection. By talking about this we are able to see the culmination of God’s mercy and his unceasing love for His people.
The final key moment that he spoke on was revelation. This is emphasized because it shows his readers that there is something else that is far greater after the close of this world. And, in highlighting this, he is successfully able to bring to conclusion the story of creation, the fall, exile, salvation, and ultimately the end.

I never thought about the fall of Adam and Eve being a key moment from Newbigin’s POV, but your explanation made me reconsider the progression of the Bible. I initially thought of God’s covenant with the Israelites as the “starting point” because it ties in with history that I am (somewhat) familiar with. Great post!

I agree with what you think Newbigin focuses on, and I think there is a lot to be said about how those stories interact with each other. I hadn’t thought enough about Revelations however, and its interesting to think about how the other three moments play into Revelations.

I think it’s significant how you mention that Newbigin began his interpretation with the story of the fall. Recognizing that the actions of Adam and Eve are the principle reasons behind God’s desire to save us is essential to understanding God’s plan of eternal salvation. Just like Adam and Eve, we are sinful beings tempted by the wonders of the world but, also like them, we are called to remember the privilege it is to be in that world. God has bestowed upon us an incredible gift in giving us life, and we must seek out every opportunity to demonstrate our thanksgiving for his mercy.
