Biblical Theology: How the Church Faithfully Teaches the Gospel (9Marks Building Healthy Churches Series)
Overview
Every week, many churches around the world read the Bible but miss the main point—and end up teaching false gospels week in and week out. One of the most important safeguards against this danger is an understanding of biblical theology: reading the Bible in light of its main message, culminating in Jesus Christ. Starting with a framework for understanding the storyline of the Bible and then explaining basic principles for prioritizing the teaching of this message, this book aims to help churches guard the truth of the gospel.
Top Highlights
“1. Biblical theology helps clarify the Bible’s main purpose.” (Page 17)
“The very heart of the Bible’s message is the good and right reign of God over all his people and over all his creation.1 The story of Scripture, then, is the story of God the King, and his loving and gracious purposes of saving a people for himself to delight in his glorious presence forever. Understanding this story brings us to the center of all reality. Come soon, King Jesus.” (Page 74)
“Biblical theology is indeed possible because the whole Bible is one God-breathed book: ‘All Scripture is breathed out by God’ (2 Tim. 3:16). The unity of the Bible’s story is grounded upon the Bible’s ultimate author, God himself.” (Page 28)
“In other words, when Jesus surveyed the Old Testament Scriptures—the Book of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms or Writings—he intended for his followers to understand that all of these books were written about him.” (Page 25)
“So if we fail to read and understand Scripture in a way that leads us to Jesus, then we will miss the point of the Bible, and as a result we will teach others to commit the same error.” (Page 19)
