I wrote this book to be used as an aid. I chose the themes and scriptures. If you think of other scriptures that were left out, add them. After publishing this book, I know I'll find additional scriptures I left out and wish I had included them. Some of the same verses were used under different themes. God's Word is complex, simple, and can take you down paths that go deep into your spirit. One minister I know refers to studying specific scriptures as "entering the deep end of the pool." My book is not an attempt to replace the necessity to read and study the scriptures directly from the Bible. This book is just a starting point for you to build your own scriptural reference related to specific themes. At first, I planned to write this book only for me. I've always had a hard time memorizing lots of scriptures and remembering where to find a scripture relevant to a certain issue. After writing this book, I changed my mind and decided to share this work with others. After listing a theme, I listed the Books, Chapters, and Verses followed by the actual scriptures. I hope you find this book helpful as you study the Word of God.

The problem of the historical Jesus remains one of the most important themes in New Testament scholarship. Closely related to this problem is the question, How far can the impact made by the earthly Jesus and his own self-understanding sustain the weight of the Christological construction put upon them by the early church? In the past two decades some scholars have taken an increasingly gloomy attitude toward the possibility of knowing anything of substance about Jesus from the Gospels or, at the opposite extreme, have sometimes made outlandish claims about him. Others, like the contributors to this volume, have begun moving the discussion into fresh areas of creative, responsible inquiry.

Biblical Theology of the Old and New Testaments

This monumental work is the first comprehensive biblical theology to appear in many years and is the culmination of Brevard Child's lifelong commitment to constructing a biblical theology that surmounts objections to the discipline raised over the past generation. Childs rejects any approaches that overstress either the continuity or discontinuity between the Old and New Testaments. He refuses to follow the common pattern in Christian thought of identifying biblical theology with the New Testament's interest in the Old. Rather, Childs maps out an approach that reflects on the whole Christian Bible with its two very different voices, each of which retains continuing integrity and is heard on its own terms.

Leading biblical scholar Stanley Porter critiques the state of research regarding the New Testament's use of the Old Testament and sacred traditions. He provides needed orientation for readers interested in New Testament references to themes such as "son of man" and "suffering servant" as well as the faith of Abraham and the Passover. Porter explains that examining scriptural traditions is fundamental to understanding central ideas in the New Testament regarding Jesus. He sheds light on major themes in New Testament Christology and soteriology, offering fresh, constructive proposals.
