After a lifetime of listening deeply and attentively to the full range of Scripture's testimony, respected biblical scholar John Goldingjay takes a step back and describes what he has seen and heard. In Biblical Theology: The God of the Christian Scriptures, Goldingjay constructs a theological cathedral that is laid out on the great vectors of Scripture and fitted with biblically sourced materials. Using the New Testament as a portal into the biblical canon, Goldingjay seeks to preserve the distinct voices of Israel's Scriptures, accepting even its irregular and sinewed pieces as features rather than problems. Rather than superimposing a thematic core, he allows the narratives' diversity and tensions to remain as 'manifold witnesses' to the ways of God. Goldingjay frames his entire dialogue with the question, 'What understanding of God and the world and life emerges from these two testaments?' With this structure, Goldingjay's Biblical Theology tests and expands the horizons of thought—his readers and his own—by the Scriptures rather than under the harsh lights of late-modern inquiry. What emerges is a landmark achievement—hermeneutically dextrous, biblically expansive, and nourishing to mind, soul, and proclamation.
