ebookHear, My Son
Teaching Learning in Proverbs 1-9
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Daniel J. Estes
Series edited by D. A. CarsonEven a cursory reading of the book of Proverbs reveals that it is dominated by the subject of education, or personal formation. The voice of the teacher addressing his pupils resounds from its pages. A wide array of topics is presented, and frequent exhortations challenge the learner to hear and heed the teacher's instruction. This material, however, comes for the most part without recognizable ...

ebookThe Cross from a Distance
Atonement in Mark's Gospel
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Peter G. Bolt
Series edited by D. A. Carson"They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha. . . . And they crucified him. . . . Some women were watching from a distance." (Mark 15:22, 24, 40).

ebookUnceasing Kindness
A Biblical Theology of Ruth
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Peter Lau and Gregory Goswell
Series edited by D. A. CarsonThe Old Testament book of Ruth is understandably a firm favorite in the church for small-group study and preaching: a heart-warming story of loyalty and love, a satisfying tale of a journey from famine to fullness. In the academy, the book has been a testing ground for a variety of hermeneutical approaches, and many different ways of interpreting it have been put forward. However, the single interpretative ...

ebookThe Book of Isaiah and God's Kingdom
A Thematic-Theological Approach
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Andrew Abernethy
Series edited by D. A. CarsonThe book of Isaiah has nourished the church throughout the centuries. However, its massive size can be intimidating; its historical setting can seem distant, opaque, varied; its organization and composition can seem disjointed and fragmented; its abundance of terse, poetic language can make its message seem veiled—and where are those explicit prophecies about Christ? These are typical experiences ...

ebookThe Voices of the New Testament
Invitation to a Biblical Roundtable
by Derek Tidball
Is there a single message of the New Testament? Theologians seek to bring coherence to the diverse teachings and approaches found in the New Testament, but this is no simple task. While the New Testament writers are clearly all concerned with the story and significance of Jesus, the New Testament itself is a collection of twenty-seven books written by at least nine different authors ...

ebookA Gracious and Compassionate God
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 ...
