Last Things First: Unlocking Genesis with the Christ of Eschatology (Last Things First) 1 review Fesko, John V.
Mentor, 2007
Good work in Covenant Theology
J.V. Fesko is a pastor and Adjunct Professor in Systematic Theology at RTS Atlanta. The sub-title of this book (222 pp) is 'Unlocking Genesis 1-3 with the Christ of Eschatology.' I am growing deeper and deeper in love with eschatology. A wrong tendency among Christians is to narrowly associate ...

Central Themes in Biblical Theology: Mapping Unity in Diversity
Baker Academic, 2007

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 ...

The Ways of Our God: An Approach to Biblical Theology 1 review Charles H. H. Scobie
Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2003
Large But Not Intimidating
A look at Scobie's bibliography suggests that he is aware of much of the relevant literature. A look at the size of the volume (over 1000 pages) suggests that he has covered lots of ground. The size may also turn away the faint of heart, but it shouldn't. Though Scobie presents a thematic ...

P & R Publishing, 1979
The most important Reformed work of the 20th century
+ Paul's High View On A New Creation + Of Historical Interest
Vos's The Pauline Eschatology marks a monumental advance in Pauline theology. The fruits of over 40 years of vigorous Biblical scholarship, Pauline Eschatology is the last work we have from Vos's pen; and it is undoubtedly his most substantial contribution--his magnum opus. The most important ...

Goldswothy Trilogy: (Gospel and Kingdom, Gospel and Wisdom, Gospel and Revelation) 3 reviews Graeme Goldsworthy
Paternoster, 2001
Christ as the Center
+ Gospel and Kingdom: Excellent!
As a child growing up, my parents taught me a great deal of what theologians would call systematic theology. That means, how do you order the Christian religion. This has a most important application: evangelism and discipleship. However, there is another side of the coin: Biblical theology. ...

Preaching and Biblical theology 2 reviews Edmund P Clowney

+ Classic.
In lieu of recent liberal scholarship on biblical theology, Clowney does the necessary groundwork in providing the pastor with a working definition of biblical theology. Recent works had defined biblical theology along the lines of the "History of Religions" school of thinking. Or, the scholar ...

God's Indwelling Presence: The Holy Spirit in the Old and New Testaments (Nac Studies in Bible & Theology) 1 review James M. Hamilton Jr.

Hamilton is a young, energized Asst-Professor. His research into the subject is not one of years of experience, but rather clinical research. It is a unique book.
This book does not cover the ecclesiology, starting from Pentecost, as most authors of the Holy Spirit usually do. It starts with ...

The Teaching of Jesus Concerning the Kingdom of God and the Church 1 review Geerhardus ÊVos
Wipf & Stock Publishers, 1999
Difficulty level extremely high
No doubt, this is an excellent book. The problem with the book isn't so much the book itself, but the difficulty of the ideas and the syntax of Vos' writing style. I am left with the distinct impression that this book *cannot* be read casually or at leisure. It is a serious book that demands a ...

A readers feast
Dumbrell's work on the convenant and its development through the Older Testament is thoughtful, thorough and packed with rich insights at every turn.
