What the Old & New Testament Authors Really Cared About (2 vols.)
Digital Verbum Edition
These companion volumes combine to give you a full survey of the message of each book. Students of the Bible will find these accessible and engaging, making What the Old Testament Authors Really Cared About and What the New Testament Authors Really Cared About well-suited for use in a college, seminary, or church context.
What the Old Testament Authors Really Cared About is gospel-centered, portraying the Old Testament as the foundation for a fulfillment found in the New Testament. Each chapter is written by an Old Testament scholar who is a skilled teacher at one of the finest evangelical schools in North America and specializes in the biblical book covered. Written from an irenic, evangelical perspective, this Old Testament survey is designed to unpack what the biblical authors most intended to communicate in the Scripture that Jesus read.
This second edition of What the New Testament Authors Really Cared About is more accessible than many New Testament survey texts, with full color and photographs and to-the-point coverage of each New Testament book. Introductory issues (Who? When? Where? Why?) are condensed to a one-page snapshot of all the most pertinent information. In addition, more than one hundred applications are highlighted in sidebars to clarify how the New Testament authors might apply their writings to Christians living in the twenty-first century.
