Four Mountains: Encountering God in the Bible from Eden to Zion

Praise for Four Mountains

There is a desperate need in today’s church to move beyond the kind of Bible reading born from post-Enlightenment higher critical methodologies, where the text remains flat and only tied to a ‘literal’ interpretation. Michael Niebauer shows us a different way—a rich way that opens up the text in a manner that allows it to be read spiritually and figuratively as the canon of holy Scripture. This book reveals the riches of a truly christological reading of the text that aids the reader’s ascent on his return to Mount Zion—to the presence of God.

Niebauer conveys the unity of the witness of the Bible across its texts while also drawing us up to the higher realities that are its true end. From the bracing mountaintop vantage point to which this book guides its readers, a vast scriptural terrain unfolds in its splendor and beauty.

—Alastair Roberts, senior fellow, Theopolis Institute

This book invites modern readers into an ancient way of reading Scripture, helping them encounter God on every page. This book will transform the way you read the Bible and how you understand your life in its light. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wishes to deepen and enrich their understanding of Scripture.
