"Certainly Beale has written his magnum opus, in which he deftly integrates the Scriptures via the new creation theme. We stand in debt to the author for his detailed and profound unfolding of New Testament theology." - Thomas R. Schreiner, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
In this comprehensive exposition, a leading New Testament scholar explores the unfolding theological unity of the entire Bible from the vantage point of the New Testament. G. K. Beale, coeditor of the award-winning *Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament*, examines how the New Testament storyline relates to and develops the Old Testament storyline. Beale argues that every major concept of the New Testament is a development of a concept from the Old and is to be understood as a facet of the inauguration of the latter-day new creation and kingdom. Offering extensive interaction between the two testaments, this volume helps readers see the unifying conceptual threads of the Old Testament and how those threads are woven together in Christ. This major work will be valued by students of the New Testament and pastors alike.
"It is tempting to confess that dogmaticians merely rummage around in the mines of biblical theologians. With this volume, the quarry has been enlarged and deepened, exposing the richest veins. I found it to be not exactly a page-turner, but rather on almost every page I discovered another spot at which to linger before moving on. Drawing on decades of exegetical research and teaching, *A New Testament Biblical Theology* exists at the intersection of biblical studies and theology. Carrying on the tradition of Geerhardus Vos, Professor Beale has raised the bar for biblical theology in our day. We will be digesting this volume for many years to come." - Michael Horton, J. Gresham Machen Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics, Westminster Seminary California
"This New Testament biblical theology makes the Old Testament storyline the point of departure for exploring the New Testament message. Beale's volume is far reaching, written at a high scholarly level, and conversant with a wide range of scholarship. Even where one may disagree, Beale's treatment is always informative and at times even provocative. A very important contribution to biblical theology that deserves to be widely read." - Andreas J. Kostenberger, senior professor of New Testament and biblical theology, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
"A magnificent achievement! Rarely does a volume in biblical studies come along with such breadth, depth, insight, and specificity. It is a brilliant reconstruction of themes that are central to Christian faith. This is a landmark accomplishment." - David F. Wells, distinguished research professor, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary
"The canonical scope and focus on the biblical storyline give Beale's *New Testament Biblical Theology* a unique place among the many New Testament theologies now available. The book is vintage Beale, creatively making connections between Old Testament and New Testament and pursuing a definite vision of how the Bible hangs together." - Douglas J. Moo, Kenneth T. Wessner Professor of New Testament, Wheaton College
"Some New Testament theologies emphasize the distinctiveness of each author or book; others seek a center or unifying theme. Beale's work is decidedly in the second category as he demonstrates new creation as an umbrella category covering all of the other major motifs not only in the New Testament but also in the relevant Old Testament and Second Temple Jewish background material. Along the way, readers are treated to outstanding up-to-date discussions of most of the main topics they have come to expect and some new ones, especially in light of intracanonical connections. Throughout, Beale is thoroughly evangelical and thoroughly scholarly. This work is a true tour de force." - Craig L. Blomberg, distinguished professor of New Testament, Denver Seminary

Beale is an expert when it comes to this topic of eschatology, his understanding of the biblical narrative and his attention to detail seeing OT quotation and allusions in the NT is very exegetical and refreshing. This book is no light read but is worth all the time it takes. Beale argues ta main storyline of the biblical narrative is an eschatological one. That ultimately Jesus launched the fulfillment of the eschatological already-not-yet new creational reign that the OT prophesied which traces all the way back to Gen 1-3. Brilliant and very beneficial read for all people who want to understand the unfolding story of the bible.

To quote G K Beale """"The upshot of this book ultimately is this :To God Be The Glory""""\\nIn 962 pages, the author takes us on a journey of biblical theology with the goal to love and worship God for His glory. He unfolds many subjects in the Old Testament-eg - \\nThe image of God; tribulation; resurrection; end-time new creation; and shows how the New Testament interprets these in the light of Jesus Christ. \\nHis chapters on Christian living and the church are very good. This is a weighty book, not easy reading in much of it, but worth the effort. It is academic, but even if you don't grasp everything you can still glean much of value. \\n

Interesting, enlightening, accessible
Beale's argues that the NT's storyline is grounded in key elements of the OT's. Chapters 1-11 establish what Beale thinks are the storylines of the OT and NT: chapters 1-4 show that the OT is a story of God progressively establishing an eschatological kingdom; chapters 5-11 show that the NT is a story of this kingdom inaugurated with Christ's resurrection. The most significant contribution here is Beale's (convincing argued for) claim that the main themes of the OT are essentially eschatological, and that they are laid out in Gn 1-3. If this is right, it adds unification to our understanding of the Bible's storyline, and grounds key aspects of theology in Gn 1-3. Chapters 12-22 are biblical theologies of some (but not all) key themes in the OT: idolatry, God's image, etc. The biblical theologies of the temple and idolatry are similar to what has been presented in Beale's earlier writings (2004, 2008)--which are just as persuasive--but the rest of this section is novel and interesting. Chapters 23-26 discuss implications that an inaugurated-eschatological understanding of the NT has for ecclesiology. Most of this is eye-opening, though with some issues the eschatological links are less clear (e. g. , the office of eldership, the NT canon). This book is accessible to non-scholars with some technical knowledge--the level of technicality is similar to Beale's (2004) and (2008).
