Hearty thanks are due to the folks at Zondervan (and the relevant authors, of course!) for producing what is now an undoubtedly indispensable four-volume collection of textbooks on the Bible.
Two introductions:
- An Introduction to the Old Testament (by Tremper Longman and [the late] Raymond Dillard)
- An Introduction to the New Testament (by D.A. Carson and Doug Moo)
And two canonical theologies:
- An Old Testament Theology: A Canonical and Thematic Approach (by Bruce Waltke)
- Theology of the New Testament: A Canonical and Synthetic Approach (by Frank Thielman)
What a gift this is to the church. These truly are invaluable books–the fruit of years of labor by godly scholars helping pastors, students, and laypeople to come to a better understanding of God’s holy Word.
(And to the nerdy bibliophiles out there–an added bonus is that these four volumes are all the same height and design, so they look great next to each other on a bookshelf.)
