Dr. Lane G. Tipton and Rev. Adam York guide students through Edmund P. Clowney’s classic work, The Unfolding Mystery: Discovering Christ in the Old Testament. Rather than offering a technical overview, the course functions as a guided theological conversation, drawing out Clowney’s central insights into the unity of Scripture and the unfolding drama of redemption. Along the way, students trace the major themes, patterns, and promises that run from Genesis to Revelation, learning how each part of the Bible belongs to one coherent gospel storyline. Highlighting key figures and moments in redemptive history—from Adam and Abraham to Moses, David, and the prophets—the course equips students to read Scripture not merely for moral examples but as a unified witness to Christ’s suffering and glory. Originally recorded for an international cohort of pastors and theological students, this course is suitable for all who desire to grow in Christ-centered biblical interpretation and its application in the life and ministry of the church.
