Biblical Theology

Imagine someone who has spent a lifetime listening deeply and
attentively to the full range of Scripture's testimony. Stepping back, they
now describe what they have seen and heard. What emerges is a theological
cathedral, laid out on the great vectors of Scripture and fitted with
biblically sourced materials.



This is what John Goldingay has done. Well known for his three-volume
Old Testament Theology, he has now risen to the challenge of a biblical
theology. While taking the New Testament as a portal into the biblical canon,
he seeks to preserve the distinct voices of Israel's Scriptures, accepting
even its irregular and sinewed pieces as features rather than problems.
Goldingay does not search out a thematic core or overarching unity, but allows
Scripture's diversity and tensions to remain as manifold witnesses to the
ways of God.



While many interpreters interrogate Scripture under the harsh lights of
late-modern questions, Goldingay engages in a dialogue keen on letting
Scripture speak to us in its own voice. Throughout he asks, What " understanding of God and the world and life emerges from these two
testaments?
"


Goldingay's Biblical Theology is a landmark
achievement-hermeneutically dexterous, biblically expansive, and
nourishing to mind, soul and proclamation.
