In Biblical Theology, Ben Witherington, III, examines the theology of the Old and
New Testaments as a totality. Going beyond an account of carefully crafted Old and
New Testament theologies, he demonstrates the ideas that make the Bible a sacred book
with a unified theology. Witherington brings a distinctive methodology to this study.
Taking a constructive approach, he first examines the foundations of the writers'
symbolic universe - what they thought and presupposed about God - and how they revealed
those thoughts through the narratives of the Old and New Testaments. He also shows
how the historical contexts and intellectual worlds of the Old and New Testaments
conditioned their narratives, and, in the process, created a large coherent Biblical
world view, one that progressively reveals the character and action of God. Thus,
the Yahweh of the Old Testament, the Son in the Gospels, and the Father, Son, and
Spirit in the New Testament writings are viewed as persons who are part of the singular
divine identity. Witherington's progressive revelation approach allows each part of
the canon to be read in its original context and with its original meaning. Presents
the reader with a cumulative approach to Biblical theology, making clear that Biblical
theology must deal with the whole canon, not just certain themesExamines in turn the
symbolic universe's main feature (namely God), the narrative thought worlds of the
Old Testament and New Testament, and how that provides the context for theologizingOffers
new insights on key theological issues, including the character of God, grace, covenants,
salvation, election, and eschatology as they relate to the doctrine of God
