Theology of the New Testament

A Canonical and Synthetical Approach.Studying the theology
of the New Testament can be a daunting task. Each of the twenty-seven books,
written by various authors, has its own theological emphasis and nuances. How
do we elicit a coherent message from such theological diversity, especially
given that some of the theological statements in the NT seem to be at odds with
one another? Is such an endeavor achievable or even valid? Theology of the
New Testament takes a balanced approach in response to these challenges.
Thielman presents a theology of the NT that is careful to take into account the
cultural and historical circumstances surrounding each book and the NT as a
whole. He not only examines each book's theological content individually, but
also in relation to the rest of the NT, particularly within each of the three
theological units that comprise the NT: the gospels and Acts, the Pauline
epistles, and the general epistles and Revelation. This canonical and synthetic
approach honors both the theological diversity of the various books and the
theological connections between the books. In the end, Thielman finds a unified
theological vision of the NT, anchored in the centrality of Jesus
Christ. 'Thielman's Theology of the New Testament is an
outstanding achievement. The book is marked by scholarly depth, exegetical
rigor, and theological profundity. Both students and professors will profit
immensely from this lucid treatment of the theology contained in the New
Testament documents.' - Thomas R. Schreiner'An accessible
presentation of the key theological points of the New Testament books by an
accomplished New Testament scholar and teacher. Its clear style, lucid
organization, and sound theological insight make it a prime resource for
serious students in both the academy and the church.' - Karen H.
