Mark Dever - Overview Sermons of Bible Books

In the late 90s and early 2000s, Mark Dever preached sermons at Capitol Hill Baptist Church giving an overview of each book of the Bible. Those sermons have been compiled into two books by Crossway: The Message of the Old Testament: Promises Made and The Message of the New Testament: Promises Kept.
