Summary: A Crucial Revelation for the Christian Life
Review: As indicated by its title, this book gives a panoramic view of the Bible from the angle of life. By life, Lee does not mean the human life as an entity or the existence of man; rather this refers to the very divine life of God, the Triune God Himself, as revealed in the Bible. Beginning from Genesis chapter one, Lee points out that the main subject in this chapter is not creation, but life. This is the most basic and crucial revelation that is seen throughout the Scriptures. Moreover, God's eternal purpose is shown here, embodied in the two words, image and dominion. In other words, God's intention is that He would be expressed through man and rule through man. Here lies the most striking point-God's purpose can only be realized by God's life! Therefore on God's side, He must dispense His life into man; on man's side, we must receive, enjoy, and experience God's life. Only in this way can God's eternal purpose be fulfilled. Simple in style yet profound in thought, this book is an enlightening and refreshing elucidation of God's word. It has helped me immensely.

Summary: The Bible reveals the divine life.
Review: This book points the reader the crucial subject of the divine life in the Bible. As a beginner in studying the Bible, I easily get mired and unfocused in all the details and history the Bible presents. This book is enlightening, refreshing, and practical in its presentation of the divine life, as primarily what God is to us, and how it is the content of the Christian life.
