Reading G.K. Beale’s “New Testament Biblical Theology”

Starting in a week or so I’m going to start reading through G.K. Beale’s New Testament Biblical Theology, which was released toward the end of last year. I’m starting this pursuit with a couple of other blogger/reviewer types; Craig Hurst and Bob Hayton. We’ll be setting up a discussion forum shortly to discuss what we are reading and learning. Our goal is to read two chapters per week until we are finished. Since this is a larger book it will likely take us the better part of three months to accomplish. If anyone is interested in joining us let me know, we would be glad to have you.

If you are not familiar with Beale and his work in the New Testament you should be. Beale has written some important contributions to the New Testament and biblical theology as a whole. He is frequently highlighted with The Gospel Coalition and is likely best known for his work with Carson, Commentary on the New Testament use of the Old Testament.

    Glad to hear you’ll be reading/reviewing. I’ve got it on the shelf, so it seems like this would be an ideal time for me to join along as I believe I could profit from the insights of others. Life’s a bit busy right now but I’m going to attempt to try to keep up.
