Biblical Theology of the Old and New Testaments: Theological Reflection on the Christian Bible Paperback – January 1, 2011

Book was I excellent condition as promised and was fairly priced for a volume of that length and quality.

This is a well-written book by a 1st class theologian. I ordered it to expand and deepen my understanding of the main issues relating to the relationship of the complete Bible, consisting of Old and New Testaments, to an understanding of the basic presuppostions of my Christian faith. I believe that studying this work will facilitate my progress toward that goal.

I have just started using the book, so I must be brief and limited in my assessment. I do find the book very interesting and I look forward to the comparison between the Old and New Testaments.

The book is very helpful if your studying theology and surprisingly it has many theological topics which I find interesting and useful.

very good

Excellent book on Old Testament Theology

Excellent book on Biblical theology.

The first half of this book is complete critical academic jargon. I don't know why the author even wrote it except to show his scholarship ability and quote other academics. I am hoping the second half is much better, but I had to lay aside for a while and picked up gk beale's New Testament Theology which is slightly more conservative but just as academic and along the same lines as this book; viewing the NT in light of the OT for theology. I hope to upgrade this rating in the future.

This book gives a first rate scholarly overview not only of Biblical theology in general, but more importantly of how the the two testaments, old and new, can be related. The depth of this relation is not merely in chronology, or overwriting the old testament witness with Christian theology, but in genuine theological dialogue. The language is clear and should be within the reach of the average reader, and certainly students will find it invaluable in giving up to date summaries of contemporary scholarship on Biblical research. Although it falls into the domain of a text book, it is nonetheless enjoyable to read, and is right in the mainstream of both Jewish and Christian faith traditions. It is a welcome demonstration of how scholarship can aid rather than undermine the everyday life of faith communities and congregations.

The print looks like (and probably is) a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy. Guys, it's 2014, digital print has been invented for a while now, how can this happen?

Great Book
