From the Back Cover
This book grew out of classroom experience and demand for a textbook that would aid students in the selection of basic resources for biblical study and at the same time provide some guidance in the use of such tools. Beyond the classroom, the book served as a refresher course for ministers, and it provided specialists a shortcut to information beyond their own areas of research. These practical objectives remained undiminished in the preparation of the present edition.

About the Author
Frederick W. Danker is Professor Emeritus of New Testament, Lutheran School of Theology, Chicago, and is an internationally recognized scholar who has published in the areas of biblical interpretation, Hellenistic language and culture, and archaeology. Other Fortress Press titles include Jesus and the New Age (1988) and Luke (1988).

Excellent overview of resources for biblical study
By Chris Lee
This is a fabulous book, appropriately written for pastors, highly educated and well-motivated lay readers, church leaders (even lay leaders), and seminarians, addressing additional resources for assisting biblical study.
I believe the current version is the 4th edition and includes a number of computer biblical tools as well (such as Gramcord's Accordance and Hermeneutica's BibleWorks).
Frederick W. Danker is a top notch (Evangelical) Lutheran Biblical Scholar who is the final name of the Bauer-Arndt-Gingrich-Danker "A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature." (The new edition came out Nov. 2000, chaired by Danker.)
The book discusses the merits of studying the original languages, how to use lexicons (including the LSJ lexicon), bible dictionaries, concordances, encyclopedias, as well as Bible helps, commentaries, and so on. Various versions of critical apparatii are discussed (e.g., Nestle-Aland and United Bible Societies versioning for the Greek New Testament, the variants and how to use them in the Masoretic Text/Hebrew Old Testament, like the Leningrad Codex). Danker goes on to do some sample word studies.
It's not exactly for the lay reader, and you need to have some grasp of how the Bible was put together as well as interpretation. It's a great reference manual for the group mentioned above. Probably a great addition for people who like to look at issues of hermeneutics (books of this sort include Kaiser's "Introduction to Biblical Hermeneutics," Carson's book, and Fee/Stuart "How to Read the Bible for All It's Worth"), interpretation, and/or linguistics.

Premier Reference for Biblical Study Sources
By B. Marold
Multipurpose Tools for Bible Study by Frederick W. Danker, 4th Edition, 2003.

For those who may prefer to go to simpler books for their advice on Biblical Research sources, I offer this thought. When the Jews wish to undertake serious study of their scripture, they study Hebrew. When Muslims wish to study the Qur'an, they study Arabic. When Christians wish to study their scriptures, they say 'God will reveal his wisdom.' Sorry. On this, the Jews and the Muslims have the right idea. In some ways studying the New Testament in English is harder than studying it in Koine Greek, as you have to check several different commentaries and translations to get the full picture. If you knew the Greek, most of the time, you will get the story first hand. NOT always, because there are Greek translations on which even experts disagree. And Professor Danker is a leader among those experts, as he is the current author of THE most authoritative Biblical Greek Lexicon in English (which began as a book in German).

I have already reviewed seven Bibliographies and surveys of Biblical Reference books, before I started in seminary. Having completed a full semester now, I discover this book (sitting on my shelves, overlooked for almost a year, for some reason) and find that it is generally superior to all seven of those other books. While others may be strong in a particular area (such as Longman's and Carson's surveys of Old and New Testament commentaries) Danker gives the best picture of the overall field.

Be prepared to consult your dictionary now and again when reading this book, even for English. I had to turn to mine at page xii of the Preface. Biblical research has its own distinctive vocabulary (combined with the vocabularies of Bookbinding, Publishing, Philology, and lexicography) which you simply have to learn if you expect to make it in Biblical study. And, even pastors who have no intentions of ever writing a research paper (after getting out of seminary, that is) will still need these skills to be sure their understanding of scripture is the best.

Pay special attention to the first word in the title of the book, 'Multipurpose'. It is easy to believe that Concordances are only used to help find the locations of all uses of the words which have been translated into a particular English word. Danker describes several others, and reminds us that our Strong's Concordance is not the only game in town. There are also concordances in Greek and Hebrew for the OT and concordances for the Apocrypha and Deuterocanonical Books as well as for the Greek New Testament.

Danker covers fifteen topics in as many chapters. These are:
1. Concordances
2. The Greek New Testament
3. The Hebrew Old Testament
4. The Greek Old Testament
5. The Use of the Septuagint
6. Hebrew Old Testament Grammars and Lexicons
7. Greek New Testament Grammars and Lexicons
8. The Use of Grammars and Lexicons
9. Bible Dictionaries
10. Bible Versions
11. The Use of English Bible Versions
12. Judaica
13. Contextuality
14. The Dead Sea Scrolls
15. Commentaries and Their Uses

One may wonder at the citation of German grammars in the chapters on Grammars and Lexicons. The fact is that between the time of Luther and the mid-20th century, all the best Biblical scholarship was done in Germany, and most of the best references, such as the best Greek Grammar, are in German (although almost all have been translated into English, there are still some which remain in German.)

I was happy to see Danker rank the Theological Dictionary of the New Testament (Kittel / Friedrich) very highly among his references. This 10 volume work was done in German and he says ignoring it is like ignoring Paul's trip to Rome. But even though it has been translated into English, it does not yield its best secrets unless you have a rudimentary knowledge of Greek.

Like many scholarly books, some of the best stuff is in the footnotes, as when Danker points out that some of the best theological dictionaries, including Kittel / Friedrich, rely on some questionable philological principles, such as assuming a word carries its theological baggage wherever it appears.

Do not get the impression that the book has no value if you don't know Greek and Hebrew. There are lots of things on plain English sources which are worth their weight in gold. For example, The Anchor Bible Dictionary, at 6 volumes, would seem to be unassailable as the leading Bible Dictionary. But Danker points out that the 4 volume International Standard Bible Encyclopedia has a superior bibliography and is better on some important subjects and in subject organization.

It is no accident that commentaries are listed last, as the good doctor is expecting us to do for ourselves much of what commentaries do, with the aid of all the other sources.Danker reports on something I have seen, that often two commentaries will disagree on the simplest matters. I will suggest, however, that new commentaries have a big advantage over other references in that their bibliographies will be up to date and their discussion of general theological issues will reflect current views.

It's important to observe Danker's comment that even if you do not know Greek, the chances are very good, as I did for three years, that you will consult Greek words in an interlinear translation (oddly, that is a tool Danker does not mention) and puzzle out some information from Kittel with it. He notes that the best place to go first is to a Greek lexicon, to get the shading of meaning in different contexts. Oddly, he does not touch the difficult task of finding words, especially verbs, in a Greek lexicon. To be perfectly effective at this skill, you need to know how to conjugate Greek verbs and know how cases affect translation of prepositions.

It is quite odd that the author makes no mention in his text of computer aided Biblical research using software such as Bibleworks or Internet resources. He does not even discuss the contents of the CD which accompanies the book. But, I will grant him the fact that the software largely automates what we do by hand with Concordances and multiple translations of the Bible.

If you need to take a class in doing Biblical research, get a copy of this book. It will tell you most of what the instructor does not have time to cover.

Great book from one of the top Biblical scholars
By lionintheorchard
The plaudits on the book cover are right on. One of the things Iike best about this book is the forays he makes into various topics to illustrate what he wishes to about the 'multi purpose tools for Bible study' that he is surveying. He will take you into Greek literature to illustrate points. I think it is his teacher's heart. He was like that when you talk with him, asking questions and getting you to think. He was quite an encouraging man.

Well, this book surveys the various Bible texts, I mean the Greek and the Hebrew texts, introducing to various of the manuscripts, and the history of the text, and work done on publishing texts of the Bible(In its original languages). He covers the early versions of the Bible, I mean the early translations, like into Greek(for the OT) and the Aramaic targums, translations into Syriac, Latin, Coptic, etc, and into English, particularly, not so much other modern languages. All the lexicographic tools and concordances and grammars are covered in a good deal of depth, including tools done in French, German, Italian, Spanish or Dutch. The history of study of the Bible, and lexicons and grammars done in the 1500s are surveyed.

My copy is marked with notes all over, and I have purchased many of the things he recommended here, as I thought I were able to use them.

Its sort of like having him nearby, when you read the book, its done in a conversational tone. Now of course, if one is without proficiency in those other modern languages, or in the ancient languages, then you will only be able to make heads or tails of what you are able to take in. That is how it is for me, I only have a bit of portion of Greek, not Hebrew or any of the other ancient languages, and I am not proficient in the modern languages either.

Nevertheless, the more people who consult this book, the better we will all be, mostly for getting into studying the Bible, God's Word.

THE BEGINNING OF THE "END OF THE WORLD" JESUS
By Steven H Propp
Johannes Weiss (1863-1914) was a German theologian and Biblical scholar. He is perhaps most famous for this book, which expressed the thesis that Jesus in fact believed that the "end of the world" was imminent in his own time. Contrary to what a lot of scholars had taught, Jesus did NOT believe that the Kingdom of God had already "arrived" (sometimes called "realized eschatology"); rather, even in the so-called Lord's Prayer, Jesus prays, "Thy kingdom COME"---therefore, he is expecting a coming Kingdom to be established on the Earth.

This apocalyptic focus makes Jesus' teachings difficult for us to grasp, since most of us (at least, those of us who don't believe Hal Lindsey or the "Left Behind" series of books/movies) don't have such a perspective. Thus, Jesus' teachings on subjects such as celibacy don't make sense to us, since we are expecting that we need to continue to reproduce and produce a "next generation."

Weiss suggests that once Jesus died, and it eventually became clear to Jesus' followers that the world was NOT going to end immediately, there were modifications made in the record of his teachings (since they certainly wouldn't want people to think that Jesus had made a MISTAKE!).

Weiss' viewpoint has been influential, on Jesus scholars such as Albert Schweitzer (The Mystery of the Kingdom of God: The Secret of Jesus' Messiahship and Passion,Bert Erhman Jesus: Apocalyptic Prophet of the New MillenniumThe Apocalyptic Jesus: A Debate, and Dale Allison The Apocalyptic Jesus: A Debate.

Winner, Best General Interest Book for 2001, Association of Theological Booksellers Between 1980 and 2000, the number of prisoners in the U.S. has tripled to over 2 million people, 70 percent of them people of color. Indeed, by 2000, 3,600 people were on America's death rows. This growth industry currently employs 523,000 people. Among abuses that Mark Taylor notes in this "theater of terror" are capital punishment, inordinate sentencing, violations of fairness in both process and results, racism in the justice system and prisons, prison rape and other terrorizing techniques, and paramilitary policing practices. With twenty-five years of involvement with prison reform, Taylor passionately describes and explains the excesses and injustices in our corrections system and capital punishment to foster compassionate and effective Christian action. His book convincingly relates the life-engendering power of God - demonstrated in Jesus' cross and resurrection - to the potential transformation of the systems of death and imprisonment.

From Publishers Weekly
As more Christians begin taking stands on the justice system (see review of Charles Colson's Justice That Restores, this issue), some are critiquing it as an "injustice" system. In The Executed God: The Way of the Cross in Lockdown America, Princeton Theological Seminary professor Mark Lewis Taylor attacks U.S. prisons as racist and unjust. Taylor discusses violations such as prison rape, excessively long sentences and capital punishment, employing the example of Jesus as a means of transforming an evil system. "It is time to confess forthrightly that in Jesus of Nazareth, God suffered not just death but execution... supported by religious officials," he notes. Taylor's voice is strident and uncompromising, making this a moving if controversial read.

From Library Journal
In this work, Taylor (theology and culture, Princeton Theological Seminary) discusses the similarities between the current U.S. prison system and that of imperial Rome, where Jesus Christ and his followers were considered a criminal element. He explains how economics, a culture of terror, and other methods of catalyzing people have created a "lockdown society" in which the downtrodden suffer punitive indignities. The rise of the prison population, under the premise of protecting society, has diminished the freedom for society as a whole, with the United States leading the way for a global lockdown. Taylor shows how ancient Rome saw the crucifixion as a just deterrent and method of control over poorer and slave populations who might threaten the system of imperial privilege if they resisted authority. Jesus created a popular movement that dared to challenge the elite, leading Pontius Pilate to deploy his only means of control over the unrest execution. Taylor points to a current movement that also seeks to undermine police brutality, prison industries, and the death penalty. This book serves as a reminder and expos of the systemic failure of criminal justice as it creates more victims of crime and dishonors those already victimized, but Taylor strays from his premise. This is recommended only for larger religious and sociology collections. Leo Kriz, West Des Moines P.L.

From the Publisher
From the Preface (pre-publication version): “Isn’t it odd that Christendom—that huge body of humankind that claims spiritual descent from the Jewish carpenter of Nazareth—claims to pray to and adore a being who was prisoner of Roman power, an inmate of the empire’s death row? That the one it considers the personification of the Creator of the Universe was tortured, humiliated, beaten, and crucified on a barren scrap of land on the imperial periphery, at Golgotha, the place of the skull? That the majority of its adherents strenuously support the state’s execution of thousands of imprisoned citizens? That the overwhelming majority of its judges, prosecutors, and lawyers—those who condemn, prosecute, and sell out the condemned—claim to be followers of the fettered, spat-upon, naked God?”
—Mumia Abu-Jamal, Death Blossoms: Reflections from a Prisoner of Conscience Is it a contradiction that Christians pray to and adore their imprisoned and executed God while supporting or tolerating the execution and imprisonment of so many today? The United States is now on a lockdown craze, and many confessing Christians have played a key part in building it up. Termed lockdown America in a recent book by Christian Parenti, this nation now incarcerates more than two million citizens. The massive number now confined—70 percent of whom are people of color—is nearly quadruple the figure of 1980, being “the largest and most frenetic correctional build-up of any country in the history of the world.” Mumia Abu-Jamal is one of these imprisoned two million, and one of the thirty-seven hundred locked down on death row (usually for twenty-two or twenty-three hours per day), awaiting execution. He is fighting for his life and for a new trial, aided in this by Amnesty International, branches of both the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and by a worldwide movement. In 1999 and 2000 alone, while Abu-Jamal waits and fights for his own life, nearly two hundred people were marched down prison corridors for execution, often with the approval of Christian chaplains and U.S. Christians.

Is Abu-Jamal right? Is there not only something “odd” but perhaps also something hollow, inconsistent, wrong in Christians supporting the imprisoning and executing apparatus of lockdown America while claiming to be followers of a “fettered, spat-upon, naked God”?

Not only was Jesus, the “Lord” and “founder” of what came to be called Christianity, executed (after arrest, flogging, torture, and a forced march), but Christians’ first prophet, John the Baptist, was also imprisoned and executed. Its first missionaries, Paul and Peter, were imprisoned and executed, the first beheaded, the second crucified. Early followers of Jesus were pitched against empire, often fell out of safe positions in the system, or were disloyal to it. They suffered Rome’s punitive regime, living at the edge of prison, in and out of jails, risking torture and execution. Isn’t it odd, indeed, that Christians today are so accepting of the punitive regime that is lockdown America.

Many objectors would say, in response to Abu-Jamal that it is not odd at all. First, Rome was an unjust imperial power that early Christians had to resist, whereas the U.S. system today is not an unjust entity; hence, detentions and executions in America are more justifiable. Second, the objectors might say, the early Christian community should not be likened to the criminal element we see in our prisons and death rows today. Christians should help and approve the locking up and executing of the criminal element today, who are so different from early Christians.

I will show in this book that these objectors are wrong on both their points. First of all, lockdown America today is significantly like the punitive regime of imperial Rome in the early Christian context. There are, to be sure, significant differences, and no easy equations of the two regimes can be made. Some of the most recent and best analyses of empire, however, confirm that the official powers at work in the United States today (often transnational ones working with national and local politicians) are similar to the unjust processes that the first-century Roman empire used against Christians.

As to the second point made by Abu-Jamal’s critics, or at least those of them who view early followers of Jesus as nice, noncriminalized people, we need to remember that members of early Jesus movements were much closer to the alleged and actual criminal element than most people think. They were not pure and holy, in the sense of being separate from those whom Rome and Roman society deemed the criminal element. In fact, what Protestant theologian Karl Barth termed “the first Christian community” consisted of the executed Jesus in his relation to common criminals (the thieves alongside of whom he was crucified) and in relation to those convicted of sedition and rebellion.

It is the solidarity of the executed Jesus with the other imprisoned and other executed ones that makes up the “first certain Christian community.” The first community was this criminal element, all three, Jesus and the criminals, hanging together—“exposed to the same public abuse, to the same interminable pain, to the same slow and irrevocable death throes.” Even though Barth emphasizes the importance of this criminal identity taken on in the process of Jesus’ crucifixion, he fails to take with theological seriousness the politically seditious character of that identity. What later became Christian community and church was birthed, as this book will argue, from a communal identity that could be labeled both criminal and seditious. The Pauls and Peters, the disciples whom many presume to be Jesus’ first community, were not present at the time of execution. These can only “get in line behind the two criminals who were already first, and up there in front, with Jesus on Golgotha! .”

A single-faceted approach to a multi-faceted problem
By Steve
I was a little surprised upon reading Mark Lewis Taylor's "The Executed God."

In favor of the book, it displays many problems with the contemporary criminal justice system and speaks of the importance of justice amidst these problems. Yet, the book is very one-sided, a dichotomous construction of black and white, good and bad (in this instance prison inmates being "good" and the criminal justice system being "bad"). It articulates the abuses of institutional and social oppression, but dismisses the Christian imperatives of free-will and personal responsibility.

"The Executed God" offers a picture for many who may have never been the victims of institutional oppressions that such things exist and demand justice. However, Taylor's suggestions for reform such as "No more prisons!" (p. 142) are very questionable and I was a little surprised at such an easily drawn conclusion. How should those who commit crimes be dealt with? How can incapacitation take place if one is a threat to others? Can society afford to just eliminate prisons and expect everything to work out? This book simply points out much that is wrong with the criminal justice system without acknowledging that something(s) may be right. It holds an oppressive system responsible for its actions but not anyone else.

Also, It relies on a hermeneutic of Jesus as a political victim of the Roman empire, something seen in politically correct contexts of academic studies of the Bible. (An approach which I find limited in its understanding of the depths of Christian spirituality).

Recommended if you are interested in looking at some serious problems in the current criminal justice system. Not recommended if you are looking for reasonable solutions as well.

The Cross and Prison Reform
By John T. Farrell
According to Mark Lewis Taylor, the "executed God," the God who suffered not just death but execution, is, "a force of life that is greater than all imperial powers and thus can foment the resistance and hope that all suffering peoples need." Comparing contemporary America to imperial Rome, Lewis, a professor at Princeton Theological Seminary, argues passionately against a penal system he regards as monstrously punitive, inherently unjust, and deeply racist. Using both statistical evidence and experiences drawn from a quarter century's involvement in prison reform, Taylor describes the American prison system as a "theater of terror" that relies on the institutionalization of prison rape, excessive sentences, and executions to maintain a prison population that has tripled since 1980 to two million.
Proposing a radical Christian response to this scandal as a "theatrics of counterterror," Taylor places the Way of the Cross at its heart. To redress the agony of our prisons, he outlines a solution based in adversarial politics, dramatic action, and the building of people's movements. A God entangled in crucifixion is, in Taylor's scheme, "an antidote to pieties and theologies that would seek their God above the earth and its suffering peoples." The executed God takes believers on a journey into the pain and suffering of a broken world and proffers the power to persist and transform. The Way of the Cross finds God in the marginalized, abandoned, and despised, the people who know life through struggle.
The Executed God is an important book grappling with an important topic. Taylor himself, however, diminishes his book's effectiveness. His tone is shrill and his language polemical, perhaps too polemical for those he seeks to persuade. His arguments, especially in Part Two, often rely on emotive generalities and could be more tightly structured and detailed. References to "gulag America," the "theatrics of terror," "big house nation," "lockdown America," and the like seem pugnacious rather than passionate after reading them a few times. And his use of the plight of Mumia Abu-Jamal, convicted Philadelphia police killer and cause celebre, as the centerpiece of an argument against injustice in America is bound to be controversial and alienate otherwise sympathetic readers.

God Against Empire
By Tedd Steele
If you want a simple summary of the book, there it is. God is against all forms of manipulative, power-hungry empire, especially what Taylor terms "lockdown America." According to the book, police brutatliy, prison life, and the death penalty are all "theatrics of terror" designed to increase America's imperial power. We are meant to be terrorized by our own government. Taylor proposes a way of counterterror, consisting of an adversarial politics, dramatic action, and peoples' movements. Basically, it is civil disobedience with drama.

Alright, lets get to the good things. There are three qualities that bring this book to the 3 star range. Frist, the problem he has identified is real. Although the language is harsh (perhaps too harsh) the reality just may be worse. Second, Taylor's understanding of a political Jesus is right on. Third, Christians do need to do something.

Now, the problem with this book is it proposes the wrong solution. His take on civil disobedience has been done. It is part of the democratic culture, although a part that most people wish would go away. Second, the "executed God" ends up being the god of the lowest common denomenator of all religious people. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will not be reduced to lowest common denomenator. What is needed to fight injustice is a church, which Taylor abandons. The church must not only provide dramatic action, it must provide an alternative drama to the one that democratic capitalism assums. Perhaps the most radical action we can do is to gather around the Lord's Table together, all being equal. That is a radical form of justice. When we grasp the true meaning of God's justice and live it in the church, America and the world will have no choice but to sit up and take notice. The church needs to be a justice filled alternative culture.

About the Author
Bernhard W. Anderson is Emeritus Professor of Old Testament at Princeton Theological Seminary. Through his classic textbook, Understanding the Old Testament, Anderson has affected the teaching of the Old Testament for over forty years.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
This book is addressed primarily to the church: the believing and worshiping community. It is an introduction to biblical theology of the Old Testament, intended mainly for theological students, ministers, religious educators, missionaries, and laypersons who seek a better understanding of the biblical foundations of Christian faith.

The approach proposed here reflects my teaching experience over a period of years at the Theological School of Drew University, Princeton Theological Seminary, and the Boston University School of Theology. This period, the second half of the twentieth century, witnessed the aftermath of World War II, the turbulent sixties with the 'death of God' and crisis in biblical theology, the theological crosscurrents of the seventies, and the beginning of the so-called postmodern period in the eighties and nineties. The outline of this Old Testament theology, tested in these cascading experiences, had taken shape penultimately at the climax of my teaching at Princeton Theological Seminary, as indicated by the course summary of 1982 found in Appendix 1.

The reader will not be surprised to hear in these pages echoes of what I have written in Understanding the Old Testament (4th ed., 1987; paperback revision, 1997), which also considers theological matters, though in a story/history context. While such a general introduction would be helpful, it is not prerequisite for this theological study.

The biblical quotations in this work are taken from the NRSV unless otherwise noted. My own translations are marked BWA. ---from the Preface

Impressive introduction
By Chris Heard
Anderson provides a helpful and much-needed introduction to Old Testament theology. The book is particularly well suited to the church or college classroom. Laity and students will find the writing style generally accessible and the shortish chapters very manageable. Anderson's outline, based around yet not limited to a scheme of three successive covenants, allows him to balance a forthright accounting for the diversity of Old Testament literature with an emphasis on the common themes that unite the literature. The breadth of Anderson's treatment is impressive. Biblical specialists and theologians, however, are likely to wish for more depth in the treatment of various topics and more justification for some unusual moves (like treating "holiness" as per Rudolf Otto rather than as per Leviticus). If approached as an introduction and invitation to further study rather than as a digest of results or conclusions, the book renders a great service.

"The following efforts bear the title Theology of Hope, not because they set out once again to present eschatology as a separate doctrine and to compete with the well known textbooks. Rather, their aim is to show how theology can set out from hope and begin to consider its theme in an eschatological light. For this reason they inquire into the ground of the hope of Christian faith and into the responsible exercise of this hope in thought and action in the world today. The various critical discussions should not be understood as rejections and condemnations. They are necessary conversations on a common subject which is so rich that it demands continual new approaches."

Groundbreaking Work in Theology
By Rich Wall
Moltmann's Theology of Hope represents a groundbreaking work in theology.
The original German work was entitled Theologie der Hoffnung, and was
written in 1965 during the period of West German Reconstruction. In the
work, Moltmann attempts to articulate the Christian hope as a challenge to
both the desparation and the official optimism of a Reconstruction that
sought only to return to the glory days of the past rather than live in the
hope of a completely new future that comes from God, who lives not so much
above us but in front of us, drawing us into God's own future for the world.
Moltmann skillfully weaves together elements of Ernst Bloch's Prinzip der
Hoffnung (Principle of Hope), Hegel's 'Speculative Good Friday,' and the
'Death of God' theology to present the Christian hope to the post-war Europe
(and world). Thus, Moltmann's Theology of Hope has earned itself a place
among the greatest works of theology in the 20th century. The book created a
rush of interest in eschatology within theological circles, which soon took
the name 'Theology of Hope' in the later 1960's. Last year, Moltmann took up
the theme of eschatology once again in The Coming of God. It is quite
fitting that Moltmann should have returned, at the end of his theological
journey, to a theme with which he began some 35 years ago -- with the hope
of the coming God, who draws the cosmos to God's own end (purpose) for it.
We would all be well served to follow Moltmann's advice: it is not so
important to understand history from the perspective of the end, as it is to
transform it, as we live in hope (anticipation) of God's future for it.

Deep, Abiding Hope
By DocTheology
Moltmann is at his best in this book. Some critics have taken him to task on some of his theories, but I found the book a wonderfully rich and enjoyable analysis of hope, the differing views of hope and hope's result, and the root of the book--a theology of hope.

The book is NOT for the casual reader. It is single space and packet with material, but every page was well worth the read. I can't say I agreed with every hypothesis presented, but a book of this strength, this thickness (thick in thinking), and wide in its exploration is like so many other books. It is like eating fish, you enjoy the majority of the fish, but there will be a few bones you may wish spit out.

For a scholar, teacher, parent, and pastor who wishes to built a structure and philosophy that contains a context of hope. For anyone who wants to understand hope from a western view and eastern view (and even the more central German/Italian peoples who view context and objects as fairly equal in giving or taking away hope).

I had heard of the title for years but never got around to reading it until I was doing a series on the subject of hope. Not only are Moltmann's words refreshing and powerful, but he does an excellent job sourcing and quoting from others. My only recommendation might be (this is what I did) to read a couple reviews of the book ahead of time to gain a "picture" of the overall theme and direction of the book ahead of time.

Long argues that the literary form and dynamics of biblical texts can and should make a difference in the kinds of sermons created from those texts, not only because of what the texts say but because of how they say it. He presents a methodology for taking the literary characteristics of biblical texts into account in the text-to-sermon process and then applies that methodology in separate chapters on preaching on psalms, proverbs, narratives, parables, and epistles.

Preaching and the Literary Forms of the Bible
By Ms. Wanda H. Hunt
I approached, investigated and uncovered the riches of the Bible after reading Tom Long's book on preaching and the literary forms of the Bible, as he lists honest academic perspectives about the literary form and dynamics of biblical texts, discovering how to best move from text to sermon. I gained a wealth of insight as I looked for the spiritual, - experiences of the Divine - and moral reasonings - for new information, not wanting to make assumptions, and found the canonical textual answers and, thereby, using the literary forms could be better or seriously prepared in my sermons and when engaging in discussions. I especially like the comprehensive text-to-sermon process or approach that applied methodology in separate chapters on preaching the psalms, proverbs, narratives, parables, and epistles in textual, focused literary genres , historical and diversities forms that were now not in a hit and miss fashion, regarding the earliest writings. I saw the possibilities for hearing the plots, claims or movements of the inner sequences of the forces/texts themselves on contemporary life in various settings, identifications, and unfoldings and welcomed these possibilities in preaching.

Literary Approaching to Preaching
By Fred W Hood
The contents of Tom Long's Literary Forms of the Bible are inclusive and interesting. Although I have not heard him preach - I have heard him teach and critique other preacher's sermons. He always zeros in on the preacher's use of literary forms: Psalms, Proverbs, Narratives, Parable, Epistles.
Long quotes varied literary critics as Stanley Fish, Laurence Perrine and Robert Scholes. He makes use of Robert Alter, Walter Brueggemann, Fred Craddock, C. H. Dodd and Paul Ricoeur. I have experienced with delight his teaching of Parables focused upon the symbols of Code, Vesels, and Objects of Art!
I am tempted to chime-in to his class discussions, when he asks: "What if we switch over into another related period of American art?" Naturally, my first parallel comes from the classical or jazz fields of music that I have lived with for fifty years. Not a surprise when I am seeking-out fresh gripping illustrations to fit into the same Biblical text. He has mastered the art of Literary Approach to Preaching!

An Essential for Serious Preachers
By Fred D. Mueller
Dr. Long urges us to let the text guide the process. Long is on the forefront of the new homiletical method which does not put the text on the operating table to perform surgery on it, but lets the text loose to speak to the church. Sermon gerne should follow scripture genre. The book is accesible and valuable to anyone seeking to make their preaching more accessible to the congregation.

This monumental work is the first comprehensive biblical theology to appear in many years and is the culmination of Brevard Child's lifelong commitment to constructing a biblical theology that surmounts objections to the discipline raised over the past generation. Childs rejects any approaches that overstress either the continuity or discontinuity between the Old and New Testaments. He refuses to follow the common pattern in Christian thought of identifying biblical theology with the New Testament's interest in the Old. Rather, Childs maps out an approach that reflects on the whole Christian Bible with its two very different voices, each of which retains continuing integrity and is heard on its own terms.

Okay...this is a valuable resource
By theologicalresearcher
As a conservative evangelical I was afraid to see what Childs had to say regarding the theological role of the Bible. However, after finishing this daunting book, I found many thought-provoking insights and interesting conclusions that may challenge Christians (especially those of the fundamentalist stripe) to re-think how they do biblical theology. Childs book is really divided into two main sections: The first section deals with theological methodology and the canonical shape of both testaments. The second section deals with the theological themes of the Bible. Many will find the first section quite dry and tedious (although his chapters [2 and 3] on models of biblical theology are quite interesting and informative). Here Childs deals with methodological and canonical issues that shaped the Christian bible. He gets into the details of the sources of the beliefs that shaped the religion of Israel and the early church. Depending on what your interests are you may find this section quite useful or useless. The second section is what many may find interesting and illuminating. He deals with major topics of biblical theology like God, covenant, law and gospel, humanity, etc. Many traditional and conservative readers may not like some of the conclusions Childs draws but one cannot ignore them as irrelevant to the church's theological mission. Childs' main sticking argument is the theological and canonical integrity of the OT in light of the revelation of Christ in the NT. How does the Christian understand the OT as a Christian text without doing damage to the textual and theological integrity of the OT? This is a common question Childs like to bring up in the book. Though many evangelicals will not like the way he handles the unity of the bible issue he does an admirable job trying to give the OT a voice of its own without relying on some overarching Christian theological construct (e.g., covenant theology, dispensationalism, salvation-history, etc.). This is a valuable resource for students who want to study more about biblical theology in a more moderate evangelical context.

Review by a Catholic priest
By Andrew D. Dalton
What is the relation between the Bible and Theology? What is the goal of the enterprise called Biblical Theology? What method respects the proper nature of that which has been handed down and received as normative for a community of faith?

The compelling answers of Brevard S. Childs to these questions have earned him international acclaim as the pioneer of the “canonical approach” and have ensured that his touchstone work, The Biblical Theology of the Old and New Testaments, will endure the test of time.

For the author, the Bible and Theology are inextricably intertwined. They should be distinguished, not divorced. The fundamental goal of Biblical Theology is “to understand the various voices within the whole Christian Bible, New and Old Testament alike, as a witness to the one Lord Jesus Christ, the selfsame divine reality” (BTONT, p. 85).

The New Testament’s use of the Old Testament cannot always be easily reconciled with the Old Testament’s own witness, which constitutes a “fundamental problem.” Its answer is a “major thesis of this book”: the solution lies in “the object toward which these witnesses point, that is, to their subject matter, substance, or res.” (BTONT, p. 80).

In chapter six, entitled “Theological Reflection on the Christian Bible” (arguably the heart of the entire work), Childs applies his theological method to ten biblical themes: 1) The Identity of God; 2) God, the Creator; 3) Covenant, Election, People of God; 4) Christ, the Lord; 5) Reconciliation with God; 6) Law and Gospel; 7) Humanity: Old and New; 8) Biblical Faith; 9) God’s Kingdom and Rule; and 10) The Shape of the Obedient Life: Ethics.
A concrete example will help illustrate Child’s method: let us take the theme of “kingdom” (number 9 above). To understand the “kingdom” biblically, the first step—from the canonical perspective of the Old Testament as Christian scripture—entails hearing the discrete witness recorded in the context of Israel. In a second moment, a Biblical theologian must consider the context of the canonical whole, which testifies to the incarnation of the kingdom in the person of Jesus Christ. The Biblical theologian must be careful to juxtapose—not substitute—this second witness, lest he destroy “the theological integrity of the Old Testament and silence its true canonical witness” (BTONT, p. 77). The tension created by the juxtaposition of different witnesses operates as a “theological check” against invalid interpretations. For example, though some individual texts might suggest it, the kingdom is not reducible to an internal, moral realm, because some texts characterize it as a new creation under God’s universal reign (e.g., cf. Ps. 95). “Conversely, the New Testament’s profile of the kingdom as the reign of love and justice revealed in Jesus Christ corrects any Old Testament tendencies toward understanding the kingdom as the national domain of one chosen people” (BTONT, p. 651).

Even if the reader cannot subscribe to every particular theological conclusion, he can readily appreciate the fruitfulness of Childs’ canonical approach. I highly recommend this work to any student of Biblical Theology.
