9Marks Journal: Biblical Theology (第4期：认识圣经神学)

This issue of the 9Marks Journal is dedicated primarily to proving Vos’ words—“certainly not without significance.” More than musings on methods, marketing, or music, pastors and church leaders need a solid grasp of biblical theology.

Graeme Goldsworthy, Bruce Waltke, and the other participants of the pastors’ and theologians’ forum warn preachers what will happen in their congregation’s life if they don’t know their biblical theology. So does Tom Schreiner in part 1 of his contribution, after which he describes exactly what biblical theology is, and how to do it in our preaching. Jim Hamilton, tightening the screws, proposes that our biblical theology should center on God’s glory in salvation through judgment. We then offer a few thoughts on the difference between the “gospel” of biblical theology and systematic theology, as well as several resources for you and your church members.

But first, see if you don’t find yourself praising God for his irresistible work in creation and new creation, as traced out by Michael Lawrence.
