Biblical Theology of the New Testament, Hardcover

First English edition of an iconic work of German scholarship

Since its original publication in German, Peter Stuhlmacher's two-volume Biblische Theologie des Neuen Testaments has influenced an entire generation of biblical scholars and theologians. Now Daniel Bailey's expert translation makes this important work of New Testament theology available in English for the first time.

Following an extended discussion of the task of writing a New Testament theology, Stuhlmacher explores the development of the Christian message across the pages of the Gospels, the writings of Paul, and the other canonical books of the New Testament. The second part of the book examines the biblical canon and its historical significance. A concluding essay by Bailey applies Stuhlmacher's approach to specific texts in Romans and 4 Maccabees.
