Central Themes in Biblical Theology: Mapping Unity in Diversity

Editat de Scott J. Hafemann, Paul R. House
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 apr 2007
A common approach to biblical theology is to examine the theology found in specific biblical books or authors, or in the individual Testaments. While this approach has value, the unity of the biblical message is sometimes missed. Since God is a unified being, we can expect his Word to have a unified message, though expressed in different ways at different times through history. This approach--a "Whole Bible Biblical Theology"--is taken in this collection of studies on seven key theological themes found in Scripture. Each essay, written by a respected evangelical scholar, seeks to discover the unified message of the whole Bible on a given topic. Here is profitable reading for pastors, teachers, and students.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Building on the gains of the historical-critical project and sensitized by its postmodern critique, scholars are now more willing to talk about the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, as a book from and for communities of believers. Against this backdrop, editors Scott Hafemann and Paul House bring together a team of scholars willing to work together on "whole Bible biblical theology." Fully aware of historical-critical matters of diversity, they nonetheless trace the Bible's unified teaching on key themes across the biblical canon. They define biblical theology as "that approach to Scripture which attempts to see biblical material holistically and to describe this wholeness or synthesis in biblical categories." Biblical theology investigates the themes presented in Scripture, seeking to demonstrate the essential unity and coherence of the Old and New Testaments across the great diversity of their contents.

Fully committed to such an understanding of biblical theology, this volume's contributors focus on selected central themes and their use and reuse by the biblical writers, their integration into the whole fabric of the Bible, and their development across the canon. These stimulating essays map significant aspects of God's self-revelation to human beings through the literary record in its historical context.

Contributors include:
Scott J. Hafemann on the covenant relationship
Thomas R. Schreiner on the commands of God
Frank S. Thielman on the atonement
Stephen G. Dempster on the servant of the Lord
Paul R. House on the day of the Lord
Elmer A. Martens on the people of God
Roy E. Ciampa on the history of redemption
