NA29----Updates from the German Bible Society

Novum Testamentum Graece (Nestle-Aland 29th edition)---pls. wait until the end of 2026

excerpts from the German Bible Society:

		The Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece (NA) and the UBS Greek New Testament (UBS) are sister editions, with the Editio Critica Maior (ECM) serving as their "mother" (to continue the metaphor). While a new UBS edition, incorporating the research findings from the latest ECM volumes, has been published (UBS 6), we are still awaiting the publication of NA29. And there is good news here: all the data has now been processed, and typesetting of the edition is scheduled to begin within the next few days. The subsequent stages—typesetting, proofreading, corrections, and printing—will, however, still require several months. We hope that NA 29 will become available towards the end of the year. General information on the Nestle-Aland edition can be found on our website.

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.”
