New Testament Theology Eckhard J. Schnabel Eckhard Schnabel comprehensively combines a historical de- scription of the theology of the New Testament with a systematic reflection on its message and the convictions of Jesus and his early followers. “Those who read many volumes devoted to New Testament theol - ogy soon learn that there are highly varied and competing theories about what goes into New Testament theology. What Schnabel offers is a tight interweaving of New Testament history with the theology that is interwoven with that history—a stimulating and cre - ative mix that reflects vast knowledge and plausible integration.” —D. A. CARSON, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (emeritus) “Schnabel takes up the challenge of writing a theology of the New Testament and shows his comprehensive understanding of these writings in their historical settings. Particularly distinctive is Schnabel’s lens of the New Testament as ‘mission theology,’ a perspective already well-honed in his previous scholarship. New Testament Theology offers a thoroughgoing engagement with the New Testament documents from a seasoned scholar.” —JEANNINE K. BROWN, Bethel Seminary, Saint Paul, Minnesota “Schnabel’s solid historical research and sound evangelical convic - tion offer readers a reliable and fruitful reading of the theology of the New Testament. Here history and theology embrace each other in God’s revelatory acts through Jesus the Messiah and the New Testaments writers’ proclamations in their diverse missional and pastoral contexts. A perfect textbook.” —YOUNG S. CHAE, Baekseok Seminary and Graduate School, Seoul, South Korea “Despite the array of works on New Testament theology today, Schnabel adds a distinctive voice with distinctive insights. Unrivaled in its deep historical perspective, this book also explores a range of issues arising inductively from the text that are often neglected in other New Testament theologies.” —CRAIG S. KEENER, Asbury Theological Seminary “In navigating the sea of diverse New Testament texts, we could all use the compass of a New Testament theology that is faithful to history, to the text, and to Jesus Christ. Now, with this magisterial volume, Schnabel delivers just that. Readable yet erudite, compre - hensive in detail yet alert to the big picture, this book will stand the test of time.” —NICHOLAS PERRIN, Trinity International University
