Description

Christian theologians rarely study the Old Testament in its final Hebrew canonical form, even if this was once very likely the Bible used by Jesus and the early church. Then again, once read as a whole, the larger structure of the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) provides a “wide-angle lens” through which its contents may also be viewed. In this stimulating New Studies in Biblical Theology volume, Stephen G. Dempster argues that, regardless of its undoubted literary diversity, the Hebrew Bible possesses a remarkable structural and conceptual unity. The more than a few genres and books are placed within a comprehensive narrative framework which provides an overarching literary and historical context. The many texts give a contribution to this larger text, and find their meaning and significance within its story of “dominion and dynasty,” which ranges from Adam to the Son of Man, from David to the coming Davidic king. Addressing key issues in biblical theology, the works comprising New Studies in Biblical Theology are creative attempts to lend a hand Christians better bear in mind their Bibles. The NSBT series is edited by D. A. Carson, aiming to concurrently instruct and to edify, to interact with current scholarship and to point the way ahead.
