Teaching Learning in Proverbs 1-9
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Daniel J. Estes
Series edited by D. A. CarsonEven a cursory reading of the book of Proverbs reveals that it is dominated by the subject of education, or personal formation.

paperbackThe Book of Isaiah and God's Kingdom
A Thematic-Theological Approach
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Andrew Abernethy
Series edited by D. A. CarsonThe book of Isaiah has nourished the church throughout the centuries. However, its massive size can be intimidating; its historical setting can seem distant, opaque, varied; its organization and composition can seem disjointed and fragmented; itsabundance of terse, poetic language can make its message seem veiled—and where are those explicit prophecies about Christ? These are typical experiences ...

The fast-paced vitality of Mark's narrative wins the hearts of today's readers on its own terms. Yet while at first glance Mark appears to be a simple account of Jesus' ministry, a serious study raises all kinds of questions: Whydoesn't Jesus make his true identity more obvious to the crowds? Why do his disciples find it so difficult to understand? Why is Jesus' work met with such ...

The Trinity and John's Gospel
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Andreas J. Köstenberger and Scott R. Swain
Series edited by D. A. CarsonFrom the patristic period until today, John's Gospel has served as a major source for the church's knowledge, doctrine and worship of the triune God. Among all New Testament documents the Fourth Gospel provides not only the most raw material for the doctrine of the Trinity, but also the most highly developed patterns of reflection on this material—particularly patterns that seek to account in some ...
