Why should we care about the long genealogies in the Bible? Allison Allen reminds us that every word of Scripture is intentional and nothing is wasted. She helps us see how the genealogies in Matthew and Luke are far more than lists of names; they’re declarations of God’s faithfulness and the fulfillment of His promises. Together, they remind us that every name points to the name above all names, and that Scripture, in its entirety, tells one unified story of redemption.
