New Testament Theology: A Canonical, Thematic, and Ethical Approach

A Comprehensive Approach to Interpreting the New Testament

The New Testament brings God's redemptive plan to completion in Jesus Christ. And while pastors, students, and thoughtful Christians celebrate its meaning and significance, many lack a clear starting point for deeper study. In this comprehensive guide--adapted from his original work, Biblical Theology--Andreas J. Köstenberger offers a book-by-book exploration of the New Testament from 3 effective viewpoints: canonical, thematic, and ethical.

The book opens with foundational insights into biblical theology and how the New Testament engages with the Old Testament. It then unfolds 5 main chapters, covering the Gospels, Acts, Paul's letters, the General Epistles, and Revelation, with attention to each book's major themes, ethical teachings, and narrative context within the unified storyline of Scripture. This volume helps readers engage deeply with New Testament theology, providing a comprehensive study that is both accessible and enriching for serious students of God's word.
