A Survey of the Old TestamentAndrew E. HillOld Testament scholars, Hill and Walton, take the reader through the entire Old Testament in book order, providing us with a wonderful introduction to each book of the Old Testament. They offer insights on issues of interpretation, geography, archaeology, history, and theology while exploring the main outline, themes, structure, and message of each book. I always find it helpful to read the relevant chapter when coming to read a book of the Old Testament or when preaching from an Old Testament passage, as it keeps the main purpose of the book in mind, and prevents us from going too far off-track or down the wrong rabbit-holes! This is essential reading for any serious student of the Bible.
Survey Of The New TestamentRobert Horton GundryNew Testament scholar, Robert Gundry, takes the reader through the entire New Testament in book order, providing us with an excellent introduction to each book of the New Testament corpus. He offers rich insights on issues of interpretation, culture, history, and theology while exploring the main outline, themes, structure, and message of each book. He helps the reader become immersed in the world of the New Testament, helps us see the main purpose of each book, as well as the central thrust of the New Testament. This is essential reading for any serious student of the Bible!
An Old Testament Theology: A Canonical and Thematic ApproachBruce K. WaltkeIn 'An old Testament Theology', Bruce Waltke applies his world-class scholarship, knowledge of Hebrew, and the world of the Old Testament to provide us with a coherent theology of the Old Testament. He argues that the entire Old Testament is theological and has one single overarching theme which culminates in the New Testament and the Incarnation of Christ. This is an amazing piece of work aimed at seminary students, ministers, and believers with an interest in theology, and one every would-be theologian should have on the shelf!
New Testament Biblical TheologyG K BealeIn his 'New testament Biblical Theology', G K Beale sets out to construct a theology of the New Testament rather than provide a survey of the New Testament. So you won't find a clear introduction to each book of the New Testament here, or the usual features of such a survey. Rather, you will see the New Testament in a kind of theological synthesis, showing how it is conveying a unified message and purpose from its single author in the Holy Spirit and how this links back to the Old Testament. Beale has seven main convictions which underpin this project and defends them robustly, leaving us with a tremendous resource for understanding the theology of the New Testament. Aimed more at seminary students, ministers, and lay-people with an interest in and previous exposure to Biblical Theology, this stands uniquely as the best work of its kind!
ESV Systematic Theology Study BibleChristopher W. MorganThe 'ESV Systematic Theology Study Bible' is an excellent study Bible which is more theological in content than most study Bibles. The notes are taken from the ESV Student Study Bible but enhanced by 'in-text articles' linking passage to key theological concepts and doctrines. This won't do what a top-class Systematic Theology would offer, but as one reads through this Bible, it provides excellent theological content, helps the reader engage with theological giants past and present, and shows how the doctrine of the Church is deeply rooted in the Bible.
