Order the major stages of the overarching biblical metanarrative from beginning to end as presented in the course materials.
Answer
Creation, The Fall, Redemption through Christ, The final defeat of evil
Explanation
### The order
1. **Creation**: The story begins with God’s creation of the world.
2. **The Fall**: Human rebellion introduces the broken condition that shapes the subsequent story.
3. **Redemption through Christ**: The death and resurrection of Jesus form the story’s turning point.
4. **The final defeat of evil**: The story moves toward the final resolution of evil.
### The concept
This is a broad outline, not a claim that every biblical book follows the same sequence or genre. The Old Testament develops the story before Christ’s saving work is accomplished; the New Testament presents and explains that work and looks toward its final consequences.
### Remember
The sequence moves from creation, through human failure and redemption, toward final resolution.
