Any attempt at a ‘biblical theology’ must begin with a careful exegesis of the biblical text. To this end, each contributor will address either a book or genre in one of the testaments through a rigorous exegesis of pertinent texts, keeping in mind the genre, canonical contexts and sweep of redemptive history.
The diversity of the biblical documents, and the times in which they were written, will doubtless result in different perspectives and emphases being presented by different biblical authors. But if one Author stands behind Scripture, one would expect there to be a consistency to emerge from a cross the biblical canon. With this in view, each contributor will keep in mind the broader theological themes that may arise from their exegesis of the text, with the aim of attempting a synthesis of the findings.
