What does the Bible teach us about God? In this comprehensive work, respected evangelical theologians trace the development of more than 500 key theological doctrines and themes through the Bible to answer this question. Though multi-volume dictionaries of biblical theology abound, this is the first single-volume resource from a decidedly evangelical perspectives. In addition, most multi-volume resources require a knowledge of the biblical languages. The Baker Theological Dictionary of the Bible is different. Though its contributors base their research on the Greek and Hebrew texts, they present their findings in language that everyone can understand. The result is an accessible, clear collection of the key theological themes found in the Old and New Testaments. The Baker Theological Dictionary of the Bible boasts the following features: articles on over 500 theological themes from both Testaments, from Abraham and atonement to worship and the theology of Zephaniah; contributions from more than 125 of the best evangelical Bible scholars; insights from the biblical languages written in readable English prose; comprehensive Scripture index; convenient one-volume format. Steering away from peripheral matters, the contributors emphasize the theological message of the biblical writers. This volume, writes the editor, "is intended to make available the biblical teaching on a wide variety of topics, ranging from the individual books of the Bible to specifically theological ideas to individual ideas that might appear only a few times or even once in the Scriptures." A comprehensive index rounds out the work, enabling you to glean every theological insight on a passage. - Back cover.
