Exploring a Pauline Metaphor
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Trevor J. Burke
The relationship between God and his people is understood in various ways by the biblical writers, and it is arguably the apostle Paul who uses the richest vocabulary. Unique to Paul's writings is the term huiothesia, the process or act of being "adopted as son(s)." It occurs five times in three of his letters, where it functions as a key theological metaphor. In this New Studies in Biblical ...

Reading a Century of German Mission Theology
Missiological Engagements
by John G. Flett and Henning Wrogemann
The gospel is for every tribe, tongue, and nation (Revelation 7:9), but there is no single biblical or theological model for the relationship between the gospel and these diverse cultures. Indeed, every suggested approach carries its own range of philosophical and theological commitments that all too often remain unexamined. Contextualization is fraught with challenges—yet wrestling ...

paperbackShepherds After My Own Heart
Pastoral Traditions and Leadership in the Bible
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Timothy S. Laniak
Series edited by D. A. CarsonScripture says, "I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will lead you with knowledge and understanding" (Jeremiah 3:15). Most of Israel's pastoral imagery is grounded in two traditions: Moses as God's under-shepherd and David as shepherd-king. These traditions, explains author Timothy S. Laniak, provided prototypes for leaders that followed, and formed the background for the ministry ...

Mission, Salvation and Spirituality in the Book of Jonah
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Daniel C. Timmer
Series edited by D. A. CarsonThe book of Jonah is arguably just as jarring for us as it was for the ancients. Ninevah's repentance, Jonah's estrangement from God and the book's bracing moral conclusion all pose unsettling questions for today's readers. For biblical theologians, Jonah also raises tough questions regarding mission and religious conversion. Here, Daniel Timmer embarks on a new reading of Jonah in order to secure ...

The Trinity and John's Gospel
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Andreas J. Köstenberger and Scott R. Swain
Series edited by D. A. CarsonFrom the patristic period until today, John's Gospel has served as a major source for the church's knowledge, doctrine and worship of the triune God. Among all New Testament documents the Fourth Gospel provides not only the most raw material for the doctrine of the Trinity, but also the most highly developed patterns of reflection on this material—particularly patterns that seek to account in some ...
