From the Back Cover

`Biblical theology' may be defined as the attempt to embrace the
message of the Bible holistically and to describe this wholeness or
synthesis using biblical categories. It investigates the themes presented
in Scripture and their interrelationships, and seeks to demonstrate the
essential unity and coherence of the Old and New Testaments across the
great diversity of their contents.

Fully committed to this understanding of biblical theology, the
contributors to this volume focus on selected central themes, their use and
reuse by the biblical writers, and hence their integration into the whole
fabric of the Bible and development across the canon. These stimulating
essays map significant aspects of God's self-revelation to human beings,
for his purposes of redemption, through the literary record in its
historical context.
