In this comprehensive exposition, a leading New Testament scholar explores the unfolding theological unity of the entire Bible from the vantage point of the New Testament. G. K. Beale, coeditor of the award-winning Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament, examines how the New Testament storyline relates to and develops the Old Testament storyline. Beale argues that every major concept of the New Testament is a development of a concept from the Old and is to be understood as a facet of the inauguration of the latter-day new creation and kingdom.

This is the translation of Philipp Melanchthon's masterful work, "Loci Theologici," in its Latin version of 1559. With deep roots in the Renaissance and the Protestant Reformation, Melanchthon embarked on an intellectual journey that culminated in this monumental work, now accessible to English-speaking readers in an accessible language. Between 1519 and 1520, Melanchthon immersed himself in the writings of the Apostle Paul, especially in the Epistle to the Romans, during his extensive reflections. What began as personal studies evolved into a systematic presentation of fundamental ...

The Gospel of Luke is a detailed account of the ministry and miracles of Jesus Christ. What many listeners don’t realize is that Luke, who was likely a Gentile, wrote his Gospel with a thorough knowledge of the Old Testament―pointing to Jesus’s life, ministry, and death as the culmination of Old Testament expectations and prophecy. In this addition to the New Testament Theology series, Benjamin L. Gladd explains the dominant biblical-theological themes in the Gospel of Luke, including the defeat of evil, peace in heaven and earth, the incorporation of the nations, and the kingdom of God.

What does it mean to read the plain meaning of the Hebrew Bible? Do the biblical prophets not speak in shrouded phrases? Does the Hebrew Bible not speak in allegory or metaphor at times? Does the simple reading of the text not imply a certain understanding of the historical and cultural context in which it was written? Can we accept the idea of a biblical text that requires an independent tradition to explain and provide the necessary foundation to even read the text in a correct grammatical form? These questions and the related answers cannot, in and of themselves, provide the foundations ...

There are over 10,000 religions on the planet. Why do you believe the Bible? Many believers will talk about their upbringing or the positive effects the scriptures have had on their lives. Some consider blind faith a sign of obedience – a noble badge of honor. In other words, many Christians believe that the Bible is true but can’t necessarily explain why they believe it’s true. Until now. Understanding why you believe the Bible can supercharge your faith and your capacity to share the good news with others. Not to mention your ability to prepare your kids for skeptics, critics, and ...

Through a careful evaluation of the New Testament (and other surviving sources, including the more recently discovered Gospels of Thomas and Peter), Ehrman proposes that Jesus can be best understood as an apocalyptic prophet.
