Summary
An accessible survey of the meaning， methodologies， themes， and applications of biblical theology
To understand what the entire Bible teaches about any given subject， we must practice biblical theology。 By surveying the whole canon of Scripture， we can best discern what God has revealed about any particular issue。 But doing so requires answering a number of important questions:
- What type of biblical theology will we choose？
- What overall story does the Bible tell？
- How should we understand the relationship between the Old and New Testaments？
- How does our topic fit within salvation history？
- How do we apply the truths we discover？
40 Questions About Biblical Theology provides resources to answer these key questions in order to guide readers in their own study and practice of biblical theology。 Other vital topics the authors address include how to understand typology， key themes in biblical theology， and how Christians should relate to Old Testament promises。
Ideal for courses on biblical theology， for pastors， and for anyone who teaches or interprets Scripture， 40 Questions on Biblical Theology will deepen your understanding and application of the whole counsel of God。

t40 Questions About Biblical Theology by Jason S。 DeRouchie， Oren R。 Martin， and Andrew David Naselli is part of Kregel’s “40 Questions” series， of which I have reviewed a few volumes already。tThe questions are divided into sections covering “Defining Biblical Theology” – questions 1-9， “Exploring Method in Biblical Theology” – questions 10-19， “Illustration Biblical Theology: Tracing Themes” – questions 20-30， and “Illustrating Biblical Theology: The Use of Earlier Scripture in Later Scripture” t40 Questions About Biblical Theology by Jason S。 DeRouchie， Oren R。 Martin， and Andrew David Naselli is part of Kregel’s “40 Questions” series， of which I have reviewed a few volumes already。tThe questions are divided into sections covering “Defining Biblical Theology” – questions 1-9， “Exploring Method in Biblical Theology” – questions 10-19， “Illustration Biblical Theology: Tracing Themes” – questions 20-30， and “Illustrating Biblical Theology: The Use of Earlier Scripture in Later Scripture” – questions 31-35， and “Applying Biblical Theology” – questions 36-40。tThe shorter definition – they give a shorter and longer definition – of Biblical Theology that they come up with is “Biblical theology studies how the whole Bible progresses， integrates， and climaxes in Christ” （20）。tIn the first section of the book， they look at three ways to see the Bible as biblical theology: dispensationalism， covenantalism， and the view they embrace – progressive covenentalism （60）。 Progressive convenantalism does not specifically distinguish between the Covenant of Works and the Covenant of Grace， as does covenantalism Rather they see the Bible having one continually unfolding covenant （60）。tThey address how each of these three views understand biblical theology and why they believe their view is the best one （173ff）。tIf you forget that this series is written by Baptists – which of course is fine – but be aware certain views will be promoted， in their critique of convenantalism， they note that believers， not children， should be baptized （191）。tTin looking at how the Law is to be understood in the New Testament， they argue for four outcomes: a law will be transformed， maintained， extended， or annulled （253）。tMaintained and annulled are easily understood。 By extended – their example is the law regarding parapet building is extended to the fulness of loving neighbor。 And transformed – their example if the Sabbath – which they argue is no longer required of believers， but now represents the Sabbath rest in the Kingdom （252-253）。tThey do not make the distinction between the ceremonial， judicial， and moral law which is the way I have understood the law and the way it crossed into the New Testament world。 （But I am a covenantalist！）tQuestion 26 deals specifically with the Sabbath， and I had trouble with this chapter: the authors argue that God said to rest on Saturday （259）。 God said to rest on the seventh day – He didn’t name the day， nor do we know what day the Creation happened – unless Ussher is correct， and then the Creation happened on a Tuesday。tThe place I was very troubled in this question is where the authors say that the Sabbath is a matter of conscience， Sunday is not the Christian Sabbath， and it is heretical to treat it as a moral law （my word） Christian must keep （264）。tI have no problem with there being differing views on the Sabbath。 However， I think it is quite a leap to say a person who believes it is a moral law that Christians ought to keep is heretical！ I hope this language will be rethought in future editions of this volume。tEach chapter （question） ends with questions for thought and study。 And the book ends with a Scripture index。tI like this series very much。 It is a thought-provoking series which can well be used by individuals or groups。 The two caveats I give are that they are coming from a Baptist perspective， and it is alright for Christians to disagree on non-salvific matters。tI recommend this series for personal and group study and hope to continue to read them and profit from them。tI received this book for free from Kregel in exchange for an honest review。t[This review appears on my blog， my YouTube channel， Amazon。com， Kregel。com， and Goodreads。com。] 。。。more
