From the publisher
The New Testament brings God's redemptive plan to completion in Jesus Christ. And while pastors, students, and thoughtful Christians celebrate its meaning, many lack a clear starting point for deeper study. In this comprehensive guide — adapted from his larger Biblical Theology — Andreas J. Köstenberger offers a book-by-book exploration of the New Testament from three angles: canonical, thematic, and ethical.
The book opens with foundational insights into biblical theology and the New Testament's use of the Old, then unfolds five main chapters covering the Gospels, Acts, Paul's letters, the General Epistles, and Revelation — with attention to each book's major themes, ethical teaching, and place in the unified storyline of Scripture. Comprehensive yet accessible, and well-suited as a seminary textbook.
Description adapted from the publisher, Crossway.
What reviewers are saying
"This work meets a genuine and crucial need to build biblical theology inductively from the constituent works of the canon… The author's competence in addressing and synthesizing such a broad range of material with sensitivity and effectiveness is remarkable!"
— Craig S. Keener, Professor of Biblical Studies, Asbury Theological Seminary
"A pearl of great price that does not simply probe the central themes and ethics of individual books — it tracks their place in the storyline of Scripture… It is brilliantly conceived and executed."
— David E. Garland, Emeritus Professor of Christian Scriptures, Truett Theological Seminary
"Comprehensive in scope… This volume puts on clear display both the diversity and the unity of our single canonical volume."
— Douglas J. Moo, Professor of New Testament Emeritus, Wheaton College
