"A companion volume to the immensely successful Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament""An invaluable reference tool""Written and edited by leading scholars in this subject, the Dictionary of the New Testament Use of the Old Testament will prove an invaluable reference tool that focuses on one of the most important topics in biblical interpretation. While many areas of background shed needed light on the New Testament, few if any are as critical as the Scriptures that informed the thinking and theology of the New Testament writers and their audiences. With essays addressing essential topics, this work complements the valuable Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament."--Craig S. Keener, Asbury Theological Seminary"The editors are to be congratulated for assembling a stellar team of contributors, who present us with the results of decades of communal scholarly reflection on how the New Testament uses the Old. Far from merely summarizing existing knowledge, these articles advance our understanding of this subject, which is central for understanding Christian Scripture."--Peter Williams, Tyndale House"This impressive collection of articles represents years of research, writing, organizing, and editing. Pastors, professors, and careful students of the Bible will benefit from this outstanding reference work. A remarkable achievement."--Kevin DeYoung, senior pastor, Christ Covenant Church, Matthews, North Carolina; Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte"The Dictionary of the New Testament Use of the Old Testament can best be described as a companion volume to the immensely successful Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament, riding the big wave of studies on the use of the Old Testament in the New Testament. The articles of the dictionary, which move from Abraham to Zephaniah and condense relevant English-language scholarship, survey all the biblical books and discuss biblical-theological topics (e.g., church, covenant, creation, ethics, gospel, Holy Spirit, justification, promise, shame, sin, wrath), Jewish exegetical traditions (e.g., Apocrypha, Dead Sea Scrolls, Septuagint), and inner-biblical exegesis (e.g., allegory, method, orality, rhetoric, typology, systematic theology, biblical theology). The dictionary is an indispensable resource for all who interpret, teach, and preach both Old Testament and New Testament texts. The editors and Baker Academic are to be congratulated on producing this magnificent volume."--Eckhard J. Schnabel, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary"A concise, comprehensive, well-produced, and user-friendly guide to the way the New Testament uses the Old is exactly what pastors and scholars need--and here it is. The scholarship is up-to-date, the presentation is comprehensible to nonspecialists, and the overall structure makes it easy to trace particular themes and apply them in a variety of church and seminary contexts. An essential resource and an ideal gift to any student of the Bible."--Gerald Bray, Beeson Divinity School

"Impressive for its comprehensive scope and penetrating insights"This sequel to G. K. Beale's renowned A New Testament Biblical Theology fleshes out nineteen significant theological realities and benefits of the believer's union with the resurrected Christ."This volume captures Beale at his best. He creatively draws connections between texts across the canon to craft an attractive biblical-theological picture of God's revelation in Scripture. His focus on resurrection brings an emphasis much needed in today's theological landscape."--Douglas Moo, Wheaton College"This volume represents the matured culmination of much of Beale's decades-long biblical-theological work. Impressive for its comprehensive scope and penetrating insights, it focuses on the climactic centrality of the resurrection and ascension of Christ in the history of redemption and the inseparable and multifaceted saving benefits flowing from union with Christ specifically as resurrected. It is fairly read as providing, as he says, a virtual 'encyclopedia' of that union. A valuable feature is the frequent 'application' sections throughout. Truly a magnum opus, I commend its careful reading and study."--Richard B. Gaffin Jr., Westminster Theological Seminary (emeritus)"G. K. Beale contributes yet another study that would constitute a magnum opus for most authors--but which for him just adds to a substantial list of groundbreaking publications. Beale approaches union with Christ from fresh angles and with comprehensive breadth, exegetical rigor, and dozens of practical applications. I am not aware of another book that demonstrates so sweepingly the relevance of Christ's resurrection and ascension to believers' union with him in its rich benefits and inexhaustible glories."--Robert W. Yarbrough, Covenant Theological Seminary"For years now, biblical scholars have stressed the participatory features in the New Testament authors' understanding of salvation and the Christian life. Building on his biblical theology tome, Beale pulls together the rich diversity of the New Testament to identify the central theme: believers become united with, participate in, identify with, and are incorporated into Christ in his resurrection even as they strive to live consistently with that reality. We fully share in what is his. Ultimately, coursing through the pages of Beale's study is a sense of the victory that Christ's own share in the new creation and the Spirit--a timely and powerful message."--A. Andrew Das, Elmhurst University

A leading New Testament scholar offers a substantive evangelical commentary on Colossians and Philemon in the award-winning BECNT series.

This concise guide by a leading New Testament scholar helps readers understand how to better study the multitude of Old Testament references in the New Testament. G. K. Beale, coeditor of the bestselling Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament, focuses on the "how to" of interpreting the New Testament use of the Old Testament, providing students and pastors with many of the insights and categories necessary for them to do their own exegesis. Brief enough to be accessible yet thorough enough to be useful, this handbook will be a trusted guide for all students of the Bible."This handbook provides readers with a wonderful overview of key issues in and tools for the study of the use of the Old Testament in the New. I expect it to become a standard textbook for courses on the subject and the first book to which newcomers will be directed to help them navigate through these sometimes complex waters."--Roy E. Ciampa, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary

In this comprehensive exposition, a leading New Testament scholar explores the unfolding theological unity of the entire Bible from the vantage point of the New Testament. G. K. Beale, coeditor of the award-winning Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament, examines how the New Testament storyline relates to and develops the Old Testament storyline. Beale argues that every major concept of the New Testament is a development of a concept from the Old and is to be understood as a facet of the inauguration of the latter-day new creation and kingdom. Offering extensive interaction between the two testaments, this volume helps readers see the unifying conceptual threads of the Old Testament and how those threads are woven together in Christ. This major work will be valued by students of the New Testament and pastors alike.
