Central Themes in Biblical Theology

'Biblical theology' may be defined as the attempt to embrace the message of the Bible holistically and to describe this wholeness or synthesis using biblical categories. It investigates the themes presented in Scripture and their interrelationships, and seeks to demonstrate the essential unity and coherence of the Old and New Testaments across the great diversity of their contents.  
  
Fully committed to this understanding of biblical theology, the contributors to this volume focus on selected central themes, their use and re-use by the biblical writers, and hence their integration into the whole fabric of the Bible and development across the canon. These stimulating essays map significant aspects of God's self-revelation to human beings, for his purposes of redemption, through the literary record in its historical context.
