Introducing Biblical Theology

For those readers of the Bible who want a synthesis of the theological teaching but find most of the existing books on the subject to be too demanding, this volume may well be just what they need: an introductory topical survey written in a simple and succinct form and covering all the major doctrines in both testaments.

—I. Howard Marshall, emeritus professor of New Testament exegesis and honorary research professor, University of Aberdeen, Scotland

. . . a remarkably useful introduction to biblical theology. The concise presentation of the material, the relevant questions, and competent answers that [Grindheim] presents commend his work highly. Students and pastors do not need another tome through which they must wade in order to gain an overview of Scripture. They need a compact handbook that directs them to the right questions and thus opens up further study. That is exactly what Grindheim has provided us.

—Mark A. Seifrid, Mildred and Earnest Hogan Professor of New Testament Interpretation, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

. . . in less than 250 pages of crystal clear prose, [Grindheim] lays out the theology of the Bible in a way that does justice both to the story-line of Scripture and to the creeds of Christian tradition . . . Grindheim soars over the whole canonical pyramid, discovering in the process the crucial pattern in the scriptural mosaic . . .

—Kevin J. Vanhoozer, research professor of systematic theology, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Deerfield, Illinois

Grindheim provides students of the Bible with the type of entry point into its teaching that every Christian needs.

—Paul M. Hoskins, assistant professor of New Testament, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary

[Introducing Biblical Theology] presents a seamless understanding of what the Bible proclaims, not just what others say about the Bible. It nonetheless reflects the finest scholarship . . .
