Biblical Theology

At first, it may seem redundant to talk about Biblical Theology, as of course any faithful disciple wants to draw his theology from the Bible, and be “biblical.”  But the phrase biblical theology specifically refers to an approach to Bible study which looks at the Bible as a gradually developing self-revelation of God. That is to say, a study done by this method does not take the Bible as whole or finished product, but rather carefully and separately studies each portion of Scripture, to understand the Divine activity going on in that book or era.  What did reveal about Himself to His people at that time?  And so we begin to see that, we want to know what God has said and done in history, so that later we will see more correctly how to apply it in our own times.  It was Princeton theologian Geerhardus Vos who first championed this method of study among his students in the 1800s, and it has grown increasingly popular since, as a study approach contrasted with Systematic Theology.

  • A Dissertation Concerning the Angel Who Is Called the Redeemer (Peter Allix)

    In 1689, an obscure French Reformed pastor undertook the task of publishing a detailed examination of a plurality in the Godhead in Jewish thought. He did this as a response to the growing crisis of Unitarianism that was beginning to rear its ugly head within Protestant Christianity. At the end of that book, a short dissertation appears to help convince a friend that the figure known as the Angel of the LORD in the OT was in fact the preincarnate Son of God. Republished here for the first time in over 200 years is that dissertation with excerpts from his larger volume and a myriad of quotations from Christian history on the Christological identity of the Angel in Genesis 48:16. What is contained herein is of considerable importance for helping people understand that Christ is not merely prophesied in the OT; he is literally present in it. May it be a corrective to a kind of functional Unitarianism that so many have when they read the pages of the OT.

  • Appearances of the Son of God in the Old Testament (John Owen)

    In 1668, the famous Puritan John Owen began publishing his magnum opus. Twenty-two years in the making, this first volume contained twenty-four “exercitations,” preliminary practices to help the reader understand what is coming in his magisterial study of the book of Hebrews. The tenth of these was titled, “Appearances of the Son of God Under the Old Testament.” It contains a precious discussion on Christ, especially as he appears as the Angel of the LORD, an actual person and character who appears time and again from Genesis to Malachi. This long-neglected treatise is a necessary back-bone holding up the perhaps longer-neglected and often misunderstood larger body of evidence demonstrating that the Second Person of the Trinity is literally present and known to the saints of the era prior to the incarnation. Anyone finding themselves desiring to learn more about this topic from one of the most respected of all the Puritans would do well to master the contents of this little book. We have also added dozens of quotations from Church Fathers and Reformers down to the present day showing the orthodoxy of the often denied doctrine that Christ was not merely typed and prophesied in the Old Testament, he was actually present in his person.

  • Basic Christian Doctrines (Curt Daniel)

    Basic Christian Doctrines is very much what the title suggests—a concise introduction to the fundamental doctrines taught in the Bible. In fifty short chapters consisting of ten simple points each, Basic Christian Doctrines presents a thorough introduction to evangelical Christian theology. Chapters include such topics as the inspiration and authority of the Bible, the names and attributes of God, creation, angels, Satan, sin, the deity and humanity of Christ, justification, prayer, evangelism, church government, death, future events, and heaven and hell. And though Dr. Daniel occasionally refers to Hebrew and Greek words, he is careful not to flood the reader with technical language, preferring to keep it as accessible as possible to the Christian with limited experience in theological study.

    Those who want a short and non-technical summary of basic Christian theology will find this an excellent tool for Sunday school classes, home Bible studies, homeschools and Christian high schools, and personal Bible study. Basic Christian Doctrines is an important, useful handbook every Christian should keep close at hand.

  • Beholding the Triune God (Matthew Y. Emerson and Brandon D. Smith)

    Understanding Luke’s Narrative in the Book of Acts

    The book of Acts is unlike any other in Scripture; it has no rival in terms of a book spanning so many different lands. Written by a Gentile, it recounts the birth of the church age and the lives of early Christians that serve as lasting examples for the church today. When believers see how these events worked together to fulfill God’s promises, they gain a better understanding of the Trinitarian heart of Acts.

    In The Mission of the Triune God, author Patrick Schreiner argues that Luke’s theology stems from the order of his narrative. He shows how the major themes in Acts, including the formation of the church, salvation offered to all flesh, and the prolific spread of the gospel, connect. Through Schreiner’s clear presentation and helpful graphics, readers follow the early church as it grows “all under the plan of God, centered on King Jesus, and empowered by the Spirit.”

  • Christ Crucified: A Theology of Galatians (Thomas R. Schreiner)

    In a time marked by confusion and change, the pathway to salvation for the Galatians seemed unclear. While the false teachers contended for circumcision and obedience to the law as necessary for justification before God, Paul presented the truth of the gospel and redrew the lines of salvation around the cross of Jesus Christ.

  • Christ’s Glorious Achievements (Charles Spurgeon)

    The popular view of Christianity today is a list of rules. Do’s and Don’t seems to be what it is all about. But if that’s what we think Christianity is all about then we have a lot to learn. The key to understanding Christianity is not something we have to do, but rather something that Jesus Christ has already achieved on our behalf.

    This book, by one of the most influential Christians of the last 200 years, looks at what Christ has done for us. Read it and then ask yourself the question “If Christ has done all this for me, is anything I am asked to do for Christ too much in return?”

  • From the Manger to the Throne: A Theology of Luke (Benjamin L. Gladd)

    An Introduction to the Dominant Biblical-Theological Themes of the Gospel of Luke

    The Gospel of Luke is a wonderfully detailed account of the ministry and miracles of Jesus Christ. What many readers don’t realize is that Luke, who was likely a Gentile, wrote his Gospel with a thorough knowledge of the Old Testament—pointing to Jesus’s life, ministry, and death as the culmination of Old Testament expectations and prophecy.

    In this addition to the New Testament Theology series, Benjamin L. Gladd explains the dominant biblical-theological themes in the Gospel of Luke, including the defeat of evil, peace in heaven and earth, the incorporation of the nations, and the kingdom of God. This resource is perfect for those looking to dig deeper into studying the interconnectedness of Scripture.

  • Glass House (Bodie Hodge , Ken Ham)

    Evolution is a model, hypothesis, idea, belief, or a worldview – it is not a theory, a law, a fact, or the truth. God’s Word is the truth. Darwinian evolution as an explanation for human origins is a philosophy that raises its fist at God, but ultimately fails scientifically.

    A powerful team of credentialed scientists, researchers, and Biblical apologists take on the pillars of evolution in Glass House: Shattering the Myth of Evolution. The truths they reveal decimate Darwin’s beliefs using a Biblical and logical approach to evidence.

    In our culture, atheists and many Christians have been deceived into believing evolution is a solid foundation. Glass House answers evolutionary claims, puts them to the test and demonstrates how they shatter. Written for laymen, Glass House addresses the origin of life, natural selection, mutations, missing links, the religious nature of evolution, and many more evolutionary myths.

    Ken Ham (CEO and founder), Bodie Hodge (author and researcher) and the team of scientists at Answers in Genesis offer you a fresh look at the major arguments currently put forward to support molecules-to-man evolution. This cutting-edge book dismantles evolution argument by argument and is written at a level even a teen can understand.

  • Hidden with Christ in God: A Theology of Colossians and Philemon (Kevin W. McFadden)

    An Introduction to the Theology of Colossians and Philemon by Kevin W. McFadden

    Is our hope in the gospel of Christ sufficient for our every need? After reflecting on this question during periods of difficult earthly circumstances, Paul wrote two letters to the church at Colossae to express the hidden hope “laid up for you in heaven” (Colossians 1:5) and found in the person of Christ.

    In this volume of the New Testament Theology series, author Kevin W. McFadden focuses on the specific teachings of Paul to examine the theology and themes of Colossians and Philemon. While reading this comprehensive yet concise study, believers will learn what it means to live a Christ-centered life as they explore Christ as hope, our knowledge of God, and our life above in heaven and here on earth.

  • Law and Liberty: A Biblical Look at Legalism (Don Kistler)

    There are two deadly extremes Christians must avoid—legalism and antinomianism. Both are antithetical to the gospel. One raises God’s standards and the other lowers them. This book addresses the first of those deadly traps, that of legalism. It is a term that is often thrown about, but is seldom defined.

    In this helpful book, several noted preachers and theologians show what legalism is and how destructive it can be to a right understanding of both justification and sanctification. Legalism is “a yoke that neither we nor our fathers could bear.” Fortunately, that “yoke” was borne by Christ at the cross, and He alone is able to bear it. He has “fulfilled all righteousness” for us, and that is a reason for rejoicing.
