The Scarlet Thread of Redemption

The Bible tells one story. From Genesis to Revelation, a scarlet thread runs through every page and leads to the blood of the Lamb.

The Scarlet Thread of Redemption: From Garden to Glory is a 20-lesson workbook by Matthew Allen that traces God's plan to save humanity through the whole of Scripture.

How This Study Helps

Many people read the Bible in pieces and never see how it fits together. The Old Testament stories can seem disconnected from the gospel, and the main message gets lost in the details. New believers especially can feel they're holding sixty-six separate books instead of one account of God's work.

This study follows the thread of redemption from the garden through the cross, the empty tomb, and the final victory of the redeemed. Each lesson shows how a key moment in Bible history points to Jesus. You'll come away understanding the Bible's overall story, seeing Christ throughout Scripture, and appreciating God's grace more deeply.

Format & Features

Twenty lessons in a 60-page paperback workbook. Each lesson includes the core teaching, key scriptures, reflection questions, and journal prompts. It's also available as a PDF eBook for individual use, or with a class-use license for churches.

Who It's For

Adult Bible classes, small groups, personal devotional study, teen classes with guidance, and church-wide studies on redemption and grace. It's also a strong tool for evangelism and for new Christians.
