This book is well suited for theologians, scholars of biblical studies, and readers interested in deepening their understanding of theological interpretation and the dynamics between Old and New Testament theologies.

Description

Providing a model of how to do biblical theology, this book also explores important emerging trends over the last five years, including: reception-history as a means to grasping the theology of the Bible; theological interpretation as a new form of lectio divina (meditative reading); the place of Jewish interpretation in forming a biblical theology; and the ever-present problem of losing Old Testament theology in New Testament theology.

The second half of the book discusses the theme of Providence, as found in both Testaments, with insights gained from the history of biblical interpretation and from major attempts at working out a theology of Providence. Elliott focuses on Providence as it has been perceived, rather than the themes of God's goodness and powerfulness in themselves.

Catholic Books Review describes the book as a rich survey of recent and classic biblical theology sources, while Theology finds it an insightful, critical overview of contemporary biblical theology research and scriptural interpretation.
