DESCRIPTION
First English edition of an iconic work of German scholarship
Since its original publication in German, Peter Stuhlmacher’s two-volume Biblische Theologie des Neuen Testaments has influenced an entire generation of biblical scholars and theologians. Now Daniel Bailey’s expert translation makes this important work of New Testament theology available in English for the first time.
Following an extended discussion of the task of writing a New Testament theology, Stuhlmacher explores the development of the Christian message across the pages of the Gospels, the writings of Paul, and the other canonical books of the New Testament. The second part of the book examines the biblical canon and its historical significance. A concluding essay by Bailey applies Stuhlmacher’s approach to specific texts in Romans and 4 Maccabees.
REVIEWS
The Gospel Coalition
"We have much to learn from Peter Stuhlmacher, and we give thanks to God for his contribution to NT scholarship."
Review of Biblical Literature
“A short review can scarcely do justice to the rich detail and the exegetical and theological insights on almost every page. . . . This should probably be one of the top two or three go-to New Testament theologies for any serious study of the topic.”
