High peaks
There are six books of the Bible that I fear to preach because they are so programmatic. In order, they are Genesis (which lays the foundations for all of scripture), Deuteronomy (which sets forth the agenda for the Mosaic economy and the rest of the Old Testament), Isaiah (a syllabus of the prophets’ messianic vision), Romans (the bedrock of apostolic theology), Hebrews (the fullest exposition of the transition from Old Covenant to New), and Revelation (which tells the church how to think about everything to come). These are interpretive hubs, in my mind, around which our understanding of everything else in scripture must turn.
