From Creation to New Creation: Essays on Biblical Theology and Exegesis

by Daniel Gurtner; Benjamin Gladd

Publisher:

, 2013

Overview

In this unique text, sixteen well-known evangelical scholars celebrate the work of G.K. Beale, whose study and understanding of the Scriptures has garnered immense appreciation among scholars and exegetes of all kinds.

Beale is renowned for his studies that explore how the writers of the New Testament used the Old Testament Scriptures in their letters, Gospels, narrative, and apocalypse. His work has greatly contributed to Evangelical biblical scholarship as we know it today.

While this commemorative work celebrates one man’s contribution to Evangelical biblical scholarship, it is also a technical text that students and professors of advanced New Testament studies will value in the classroom.
