The story of the Bible is that of a progressive revelation of God, culminiating in his incarnation in Jesus.

The NT yes. The OT no. The OT is a story unto itself.

I know I just posted to you and noted your lack of Biblical scholarship but this post is so absurd it needs an answer... The entire purpose of the OT is the necessity of salvation and the anticipation of the Messiah. This is fulfilled in Jesus of the NT. Maybe they're not mutually exclusive after all...?

By "Bible" I mean the Old and New Testament, the Christian Scriptures. The Tanakh is not the same as the Old Testament.
