Reviews

"This book is the fruit of the labors of seven scholars working both individually and together to provide what they consider a 'progression of mind.'. . . The essays are all the fruit of rigorous scholarship. They will be of interest to the serious student of the Bible."--Bible Today

"[This book] will be helpful to preachers."--R. Albert Mohler Jr., Preaching

"This is a successful attempt to isolate some of the major theological motifs of the Old and New Testaments which, woven together with care, provide the core structure and emphases for a credible biblical theology. The contributors to this project, all of whom have made significant contributions to biblical scholarship, have collaborated here to make available to the thoughtful reader helpful overviews of each of the themes they address. . . . Each chapter reflects careful attention to the biblical texts and to current and important secondary literature."--Eugene H. Merrill, Bibliotheca Sacra

"Each topic covers material important to a theological interpretation of the Bible and each allows the author to present a portion of biblical theology at work according to methods he has chosen. . . . The authors, whatever the particularities of their subjects, have taken the time to explore them with some thoroughness. Together the essays demonstrate that constructive biblical theology is at work among evangelically minded scholars, and their contributions are worthy of reflection."--J. Andrew Dearman, Horizons in Biblical Theology

"A good collection of essays in biblical theology. Its underlying premises may not always be congenial to traditional biblical studies, but these writers think the task is too big and important for the narrow interests of that guild. They wish to foster dialogue with a range of theological studies. That is to be applauded even if significant debate over the details these authors present will continue."--Kent Brower, Journal for the Study of the New Testament

"Two leading evangelical biblical theologians, Scott Hafemann and Paul House, have edited a collection of essays that includes their own contributions as well as key treatments from five other scholars, all in the prime of their careers. . . . These essays have benefited from significant interaction from leading thinkers. . . . These essays are fine examples of biblical theology. They are up-to-date, strong articulations of seasoned scholars, and at the same time this volume serves as an excellent starting point for anyone engaging these issues for the first time. It is exciting to read these essays, as they helpfully establish a wide angle view of the whole canon that is focused through careful interpretation of texts in context. We applaud the editors, and may their tribe of biblical theologians increase!"--James M. Hamilton Jr., Criswell Theological Review

"Those who desire to study Biblical Theology would do well to consider this book."--Charles Ray, Journal of Dispensational Theology
