  • The Promise-Plan of God: A Biblical Theology of the Old and New Testaments

    Last week, we looked into Walt Kaiser’s Recovering The Unity of The Bible. Today, we’ve got his older and more comprehensive work The Promise-Plan of God. The first part of this book is comes from Kaiser’s older book Toward an Old Testament Theology and presents a biblical theology of the Old Testament books. The second part then…

  • Recovering The Unity of The Bible: One Continuous Story, Plan, and Purpose

    I’ve been familiar with the name Walt Kaiser since early on in college. One of my first professors used several of his sources, but I hadn’t personally read anything by him until now. Originally delivered as a set of 16 lectures at Cambridge Summer School of Theology, Recovering the Unity of the Bible is a very reader-friendly…

  • Salvation Accomplished By The Son: The Work of Christ

    A few weeks back, I told you I was working my way through this book for lent. There I mentioned that Robert Peterson divides his study on the work of Christ into two sections: Events Pictures As Peterson himself says, there is really only one work of Christ, but that work accomplishes our salvation through nine Events:…

  • What is Theological Interpretation of Scripture?

    This question has been drawing my attention, even before it was featured here in the blogging world by the Gospel Coalition. In that post, Andy Naselli highlights D. A. Carson’s assessment of the movement. As Carson understands it, the theological interpretation of Scripture (TIS) is: partly disparate movement, partly a call to reformation in biblical interpretation, partly…

  • Psalms as Torah and Other Studies in Theological Interpretation

    [This post is part of the What Is Theological Interpretation? series] Recently, Baker Academic has been very gracious in sending me several books. Two of those books, Psalms as Torah and The Character of Christian Scripture are part of an on-going series called Studies in Theological Interpretation. After looking at the other titles, I decided to…

  • Book of the Month: The Revelation of God

    As I mentioned in the reading schedule, there will often be a book of the month. I might read it in the course of a week, or I might spread it out over the whole month. Just depends on how life goes. This month, I’m turning the corner from a metaphysical/scientific focus to a focus…

  • The Doctrine of the Word of God

    John Frame is the J.D. Trimble Chair of Systematic Theology and Philosophy at RTS right here in Orlando (and by Orlando, I mean Oveido). He used to teach at Westminster California and before that, Westminster Philadelphia. He has, as some might say, been around the block, and is quite the prolific writer in the Reformed…

  • Critique of Introducing Covenant Theology

    Overall, I am in some ways sympathetic to the project Michael Horton is attempting in Introducing Covenant Theology. I would say I like the idea of it all, but he leaves many questions unanswered. I would consider myself Reformed in my theological leanings, or you could use the word Calvinist(ic) if you wanted to. However,…
