Description
The New Testament's explicit summaries of Israel's story provide direct access to how the earliest Christians practiced biblical theology. This study examines the passages in the Synoptic Gospels, Acts, Paul's letters and Hebrews that recount the characters, events and institutions of Israel's history in chronological order. By analyzing these summaries, Bruno, Compton and McFadden demonstrate their value for understanding the apostles' practice of biblical theology. The authors aim to move beyond description and provide a prescriptive guide for contemporary readers who wish to follow the apostles' example. This book offers a fresh perspective on how the earliest Christians interpreted and applied the Old Testament story, making it an important resource for those interested in biblical studies and Christian theology.
