New Dictionary of Biblical Theology

Exploring the Unity and Diversity of Scripture.
The New Dictionary of Biblical Theology takes readers to a higher vantage point
where they can view the thematic terrain of the Bible in its canonical
wholeness. At the heart of this work is an A-to-Z encyclopedia of over 200 key
biblical-theological themes such as atonement, creation, eschatology, Israel,
Jesus Christ, the kingdom of God, redemption, suffering, wisdom and worship.
Students and communicators of the Bible will be well served by articles
exploring the theology of each biblical book. And for those interested in the
wider discipline of biblical theology, major articles explore foundational
issues such as the history of biblical theology, the challenges raised against
biblical theology, and the unity and diversity of Scripture. Over 120
contributors drawn from the front ranks of biblical scholarship in the
English-speaking world make the New Dictionary of Biblical Theology a work of
distinction and a benchmark of evangelical biblical theology at the turn of the
twenty-first century. Bibliographies round out all articles, directing readers
to research trails leading out of the Dictionary and into crucial studies on
every subject. Cross-references throughout send readers through the varied maze
of reading pathways, maximizing the usefulness of this volume. (=

'The advent of the New Dictionary of Biblical
Theology is both timely and highly significant. It is timely because of the
increasing recognition in both scholarly and popular Christian circles of the
need to integrate biblical themes, ideas and passages into the message of the
Bible as a whole (whatever diversity there may be within it). The volume is
important because of the quality and scope of its articles, which are helpfully
divided into three sections: those dealing with fundamental issues relating to
biblical theology, articles about various books and corpora of the Scriptures,
and those on key biblical topics. This dictionary will be an invaluable aid to
all students and teachers of the Bible who want to understand the relation of
the parts to the whole thrust of the Scriptures.' - Peter T.
