Servant of the Lord and His Servant People, The: Tracing a Biblical Theme Through the Canon (New Studies In Biblical Theology Series)
Matthew S HarmonPaperback 2020-12-17
Series Overview:
Learn about the individual and often challenging themes interwoven across the Bible through biblical theology. The New Studies in Biblical Theology (NSBT) series helps you carefully and sensitively address key issues in a clear biblical theology approach. By simultaneously instructing and edifying, interacting with current scholarship, the NSBT points the way forward. Drawing from well-respected biblical scholars such as D.A. Carson, Craig L. Blomberg, and G.K. Beale, this series represents the elite in biblical theology.
Each NSBT volume focuses on these three areas:
The nature and status of biblical theology, including its relationship to other disciplines
The articulation and exposition of the structure of thought from a particular biblical writer or text
The delineation of a biblical theme across the biblical corpus
While the NSBT volumes interact with the best of recent research, they avoid untransliterated Greek and Hebrew or too much specialist jargon. They are written within the framework of confessional evangelicalism, but they also engage a variety of other relevant viewpoints and significant literature.

Publisher Description
It is often recognized that the title 'servant' is applied to key figures throughout the Bible, culminating in Jesus Christ. Matthew Harmon carefully traces this theme from Genesis to Revelation, examining how earlier 'servants' point forwards to the ultimate Servant. While this theme is significant in its own right throughout redemptive history, it also plays a supporting role, enhancing and enriching other themes, such as son, prophet and king. Harmon shows how the title 'servant' not only gives us a clearer understanding of Jesus Christ but also has profound implications for our lives as Christians. When we grasp what it means to be servants of Christ, our love for him and our obedience to him deepen. Understanding that the ultimate Servant, Jesus Christ, indwells his people, to empower them to serve others in love, has the potential to transform how we interact with fellow believers and the world around us.
