About this listen

When reading through the Bible, it is impossible to ignore the troubling fact that Israel and its leaders - and even Jesus' own disciples - seem unable to fully grasp the messianic identity and climactic mission of Jesus. If his true deity, his death and resurrection and his role in the establishment of God's eternal kingdom were predicted in the Old Testament and in his own teachings, how could the leading biblical scholars of their time miss it? This audiobook explores the biblical conception of mystery as an initial, partially hidden revelation that is subsequently more fully revealed, shedding light not only on the richness of the concept itself, but also on the broader relationship between the Old and New Testaments. Exploring all the occurrences of the term mystery in the New Testament and the topics found in conjunction with them, this work unpacks how the New Testament writers understood the issue of continuity and discontinuity. This investigation of the notion of mystery sharpens our understanding of how the Old Testament relates to the New and explores topics such as kingdom, crucifixion, the relationship between Jews and Gentiles and more. As such, it is a model for attentive and faithful biblical theology intended for students, scholars, pastors, and lay people who wish to seriously engage the Scriptures.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Ever learning

This isn't to criticize the author's grasp of his subject, it is rather to confess that the material tended to irritate and activate a certain bias towards scholarship, at least insofar as such scholarship seems to delight in temerity. mistaking doubt for humility, or so it appears to this reviewer. The starting presupposition of biblical faith is stated by apostle Paul as being 'foolishness to the Greeks' (or wise, that is educated) thus of what value are the tools of the wise or educated. Again the interpretation of scripture is limited to itself it is its own heterocosm whilst claiming explanatory power over all other realities. Thus any understanding must, if it is of faith, submit to this measure, again apostle Paul describes this as 'bringing every thought captive to Christ'.
Beale stutters because he is too concerned with respectability, so he insists that the 'last days' are still ongoing having been initiated, as he demonstrates clearly, by Christ's crucifixion and subsequent resurrection. To acknowledge that the last days began is to acknowledge that whatever they were the last days of, they must also have been completed, "that all things might be fulfilled" it is this precise point for which some explanation would have been useful which Beale avoids addressing and would leave one with nothing, being incapable by his commitments to other considerations one imagines from stating boldly that the last days are regarding Israel and her removal as God's covenant partner and that the only marker of covenant membership was Christ-likeness, which by Christ's own comparison of himself as perceived by critics as a 'wine drinker' and of John the Baptist as altogether too severe is a judgment entirely in God's hands who is the only just Judge.
Indeed Biblical theology with its adherence to textual criticism and arrogant assertion that 'oldest is best' when it comes to manuscripts must be seen as as utterly works based and paddling furiously back in its leaky boat to the sand drifts of Roman Catholicism in my estimation. So some good points but listen with caution.
