A Biblical Theology of the New Testament
Overview
This collection represents a collaborative effort by a group of theologians from Dallas Theological Seminary to demonstrate divine truth, inductively and progressively, through successive eras of human history. The team of writers demonstrate a high view of Scripture and a commitment to the proposition that sound systematic theology must find its roots in a properly undertaken biblical theology.

“A defense of God’s righteousness is called a theodicy.” (Page 246)
“Biblical theology is an attempt to study the individual contributions of a given writer or a given period to the canon’s message. It combines analysis and synthesis.” (Page 13)
“Systematics takes the whole of revelation and seeks to weave an inherent unity between the parts, using descriptive categories and subject topics that facilitate bringing the whole together. What emerges is the presence of a grid that explains how the parts fit together.” (Pages 12–13)
“This is the only passage in the Pastorals where all three members of the Trinity are referred to together.” (Page 353)
“Exegesis is the careful explanation of the meaning of a given text. The term comes from a Greek term, exēgēsis, that means ‘explanation.’3 Exegesis involves analyzing a text in its historical, cultural, and literary setting with concern for its lexical, grammatical, and theological content. The exegete focuses primarily on explaining the text’s message for its initial audience. In a real way, exegesis is the foundation for both biblical theology and systematic theology.” (Page 12)
