Understanding Biblical Theology: A Comparison of Theory and Practice

Cutting through the confusing array of interpretive strategies that claim the term “biblical theology,” Edward Klink and Darian Lockett consider five schools of thought regarding biblical theology and handle each in turn, defining and giving a brief developmental history for each one, and exploring each method through the lens of one contemporary scholar who champions it. Using a spectrum between history and theology, each of five “types” of biblical theology are identified as either “more theological” or “more historical” in concern and practice.

Theology of the New Testament

Studying the theology of the New Testament can be a daunting task, even to the knowledgeable Bible student or pastor. Each of the twenty-seven books, written by various authors, has its own theological emphasis and nuances. How do we elicit a coherent message from such theological diversity, especially given that some of the theological statements in the New Testament seem to be at odds with one another? Is such an endeavor achievable or even valid?

Known by God: A Biblical Theology of Personal Identity (Biblical Theology for Life)

What does the Bible say about your sense of self? In the past, an individual's identity was more predictable than it is now. Today, personal identity is a do-it-yourself project. Constructing a stable and satisfying sense of self is hard amidst relationship breakdowns, the pace and rhetoric of modern life, the rise of social media, social mobility, and so on. Ours is a day of identity angst. Who are you? What defines you? What makes you you? In Known by God, Rosner argues that rather than knowing ourselves, being known by God is the key to personal identity. He explores three biblical angles on the question of personal identity: Being made in the image of God. Being known by God. Being in Christ. At the center of a biblical understanding of personal identity is sonship: God gives us our identity as a parent who knows his child. Being known by him as his child gives our fleeting lives significance, provokes in us needed humility, supplies cheering comfort when things go wrong, and…

The Abuse of Conscience: A Century of Catholic Moral Theology

How important is the conscience for the Christian moral life? How should it be understood in relation to the teachings of the Bible and of church tradition? In this book, Matthew Levering surveys twentieth-century Catholic moral theology to construct an argument for keeping conscience firmly alongside prudence, charity, and the gifts of the Spirit—and for understanding it as something that must be formed by the revealed truths of Scripture as interpreted and applied in the church. Levering shows how conscience-centered ethics came to be—both prior to and following the Second Vatican Council—and how important voices from both the Catholic and Protestant communities criticized the primacy of conscience in favor of an approach that considers conscience within “the broader framework of the Christian moral organism.”

Caution for those using 2nd Ed. SBL Handbook Note style in Zotero

 pls see the discussion in the Forum: 

2nd Ed. SBL Handbook Note style no longer has the place in the citation

hs907

February 16, 2026

As in the title, it's now incorrect - the place has completely disappeared from both the notes and bibliography in all of the Item Types that I'm currently using (book, thesis, journal article, blogpost, conference paper) so I'd assume that would be the same with the rest too

  That's correct SBL. Chicago removed the place in the 18th edition and SBL had a blogpost in December that they are following suit.

 ...

 

*****

If you use SBL style previously in Zotero and don't want the update one which removed all the publishing places, you can get the "legacy edition" of the SBL 2.0 style here.

 

For those who uses HRW Chinese and English Citation 3rd edition (full note) (which works on 《學術研究與寫作：聖經、神學與教牧學研究手冊》), this is not affected. See here.

Exodus (The Contextual Critical Commentary) Kindle Edition

Part of: The Contextual Critical Commentary (2 books)

See all formats and editions

---

Marvin A. Sweeney presents a new and innovative commentary on the book of Exodus. He presents an analysis of both the final, synchronic, literary form of Exodus, together with a discussion of the diachronic, historical composition of the book from the initial Ephraimitic composition to the later Priestly edition of the book. Sweeney argues that Exodus constitutes a classic example of an ancient Near Eastern creation narrative in which YHWH, the G-d of Israel, defeats Pharaoh, recognized as a god in Egypt. YHWH uses elements of creation, newly recognized in the Exodus narrative, to defeat Pharaoh, exercise sovereignty over creation, and deliver the nation of Israel from Egyptian oppression. He also treats major elements and themes in the reception history of Exodus in Judaism, Christianity, African American, Asian, and other cultures to demonstrate how the book of Exodus has inspired readers throughout the world.
