Biblical Theology According to the Apostles
New Studies in Biblical Theology
Authors: Chris Bruno, Jared Compton, Kevin McFadden
Product code: B531
How the earliest Christians told the story of the Old Testament
How did the apostles understand the Old Testament? Although relatively few in number, the New Testament`s explicit summaries of the Old Testament story of Israel give readers direct access into the way the earliest Christians told this story - that is to say, to the way they did biblical theology.
This stimulating New Studies in Biblical Theology volume examines the passages in the Synoptic Gospels, Acts, Paul`s letters, and Hebrews which recount the characters, events, and institutions of Israel`s story in chronological order and at substantial length. The authors demonstrate just how valuable a lens these summaries provide for a clearer vision of the earliest Christians` practice of biblical theology. In doing so, they also show how contemporary readers can and should follow the apostles` example. Addressing key issues in biblical theology, the works comprising New Studies in Biblical Theology are creative attempts to help Christians better understand their Bibles.
