Reading “A Puritan Theology” Together

~ Bob Hayton

puritantheologyOver at SharperIron, we just posted Craig Hurst’s review of A Puritan Theology: Doctrine for Life by Joel Beeke and Mark Jones. This looks like a great resource for plumbing the depths of Puritan theology.
Tim Challies of Challies.com, has just started a read along of the last section of this book which focuses on practical theology, the “so what?” of systematic theology, if you will. For the next eight weeks you can read one chapter a week with Tim Challies and read an interview of Dr. Beeke about that chapter.

Go over to Challies.com to check out this week’s post. The book is available at Westminster Bookstore, Amazon.com or Christianbook.com or your local Christian bookstore.

Group Read through G.K. Beale’s “A New Testament Biblical Theology”

~ Bob Hayton

This year, I will be reading through G.K. Beale’s A New Testament Biblical Theology with some friends. I want to extend an invitation to all of you to join us as we read through this important book this year.

The book is more than 1,000 pages long so it will take us some time to get through it. We are going to try to read 2 chapters a week starting February 5th.

The reading group is set up at Goodreads.com. You can join the group there (a free account with Goodreads.com is required). You should also be able to follow the conversation at our Facebook page for the group too. And I’m sure I’ll be blogging periodically about the book as well here at FundamentallyReformed.com.

If you still need to pick up a copy of this book, you can do so at your local Christian bookstore or at the following online retailers.

G.K. Beale on “A New Testament Biblical Theology”

~ Bob Hayton ~ 1 Comment

I’m gearing up to start working my way through G.K. Beale’s new book, A New Testament Biblical Theology: The Unfolding of the Old Testament in the New, his magnum opus (Baker, 2011). Together with Craig Hurst and G.A. Dietrich, I’ll be reading through this book two chapters a week. I’ll be posting more details on where the discussion forum will be, but I’m sure any of my readers are welcome to join us.

G.K. Beale is known for his work on tracing out all the New Testament quotes and allusions to the Old Testament. He is co-editor of the Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament (Baker 2007) and also the author of a massive commentary on Revelation (Eerdmans, 1998) and a helpful biblical theology work entitled The Temple and the Church’s Mission: A Biblical Theology of the Dwelling Place of God (IVP, 2004).

The Gospel Coalition blog collects all the glowing recommendations for A New Testament Biblical Theology, and Westminster Bookstore has the book at a great price (even better than Amazon’s).

See the 10 minute video clip below where Dr. Beale discusses his work.
