Neither Poverty nor Riches by Craig Blomberg explores the Biblical attitude toward possessions. How do Christians who have accumulated wealth and possessions view the plight of the poor? Avoiding easy answers, he instead seeks a comprehensive biblical theology of possessions. Ending with conclusions and applications relevant to our contemporary world.

In God's Unfaithful Wife Raymond C. Ortlund Jr. examines how spiritual adultery stands in all its bluntness for a deeply offensive sin—the unfaithfulness of God's covenant people in departing from Yahweh, their husband, and going after false gods. Tracing the specific theme of marital unfaithfulness, the author shows the sad case of Israel’s failure. He then looks at how spiritual adultery is transcended by the vision of ultimate reality in Christ and his church—the Bridegroom and the Bride.

In The Temple and the Church's Mission G.K. Beale argues that the Old Testament tabernacle and temples were symbolically designed to point to the end-time reality that God's presence, formerly limited to the Holy of Holies, would be extended throughout the cosmos. Tracing the theme of the tabernacle and temple across the Bible's story-line, illuminating many texts and closely-related themes along the way.

In Identity and Idolatry Richard Lints observes that too rarely have Genesis 1:26-27 been understood as conceptually interwoven with the whole of the prologue materials of Genesis 1. The construction of the cosmic temple strongly hints that the "image of God" language serves liturgical functions. He argues that "idol" language in the Bible is a conceptual inversion of the "image" language of Genesis 1. These constructs illuminate each other, and clarify the canons central anthropological concerns. The biblical-theological use of image/idol is a thread through the canon that highlights the movements of redemptive history.

Endorsements (9)

“Begin with the imago Dei. . . . Work that out across the canon, and you discover that light shines on many topics, not least the nature of idolatry. This book manages to blend some elements of systematic theology with careful biblical theology to produce a study that is wonderfully evocative.”

“This is an outstanding read and I heartily recommend it to you. Rather than treating various aspects of human nature as so many other theological anthropologies do (body, soul, spirit, mind, emotions, will, et al.), this is a thorough treatment of human identity from the angles of systematic and biblical theology. It's about who we are versus what we are.”

In Christ Jesus, November 29, 2015

“The importance of this book lies not only in the competent handling of its chosen theme but in three other things: its evocative unpacking of the theme of the temple and its relations to broader structures of thought, including the kingdom of God; its modeling of the way biblical theology is to be done; and its capacity to cause readers to perceive fresh and wonderful things in the Scriptures, and to bow in worship and gratitude.”

“I recommend this work for anyone wrestling with eschatological issues of fulfillment or handling temple texts that are dealt with in this book. As for me, I intend to have the book handy anytime I approach biblical theology as a guidebook in methodology.”

Truth on Fire

“Beale has written a comprehensive (and to my mind, convincing) biblical theology, centering on the role of the temple both in Scripture and in the Ancient Near East.”

"On a subject as sensitive as this one, it is extraordinarily rare to find balance and prophetic voice rolled up in one. In my view, this is now the best book on the entire subject."

"Not only does the development of this theme link large swathes of the canon together, but it simultaneously discloses the profoundly personal nature of God's covenanted love, exposes the odium of spiritual adultery, and conversely, enriches our view of marriage."
