The Biblical Theology of the New Testament series consists of individual volumes covering the New Testament. Each volume is devoted to an indepth exploration of a given New Testament writing, or group of writings, within the context of the theology of the New Testament, and ultimately of the entire Bible. While each corpus requires an approach that is suitable for the writing(s) studied, all volumes include:
- a survey of recent scholarship and of the state of research
- a treatment of the relevant introductory issues
- a thematic commentary following the narrative flow of the document(s)
- a treatment of important individual themes
- discussions of the relationship between a particular writing and the rest of the New Testament and the Bible
By providing in-depth studies of the diverse, yet complementary perspectives of the New Testament writings, the Biblical Theology of the New Testament series aims to make a significant contribution to the study of the major interrelated themes of Scripture in a holistic, context-sensitive, and spiritually nurturing manner. Each volume is written by a scholar who has written a major commentary or monograph on the corpus covered. The generous page allotment allows for an in-depth investigation. While coming from diverse academic backgrounds and institutional affiliations, the contributors share a commitment to an evangelical faith and a respect for the authority of Scripture. They also have in common a conviction that the canon of Scripture is ultimately unified, not contradictory.
