Praise for New Testament Theology

"A magnificent achievement! Schreiner has combined the breadth and depth of his knowledge of the New Testament with extensive discussion of the scholarly literature. Best of all, it follows the New Testament in testifying to the majesty and glory of God."--Simon J. Gathercole, University of Cambridge

"Lucid, incisive, and above all devoted to listening to the text of the New Testament, Tom Schreiner's volume is like a cool drink in a postmodern desert. If you want a New Testament theology that is informed, exegetically grounded, canonically based, trinitarian, and written from the standpoint of a sturdy faith, then this is the book for you!"--Donald A. Hagner, Fuller Theological Seminary

"Thomas Schreiner is known for being a skillful and careful New Testament scholar. In his New Testament Theology his abilities and his clear, concise style are on full display as he gives us a synthetic account of this complex subject, an account that reflects his high view of Scripture. This is probably the best New Testament theology written in the last several decades from a decidedly Reformed and evangelical point of view."--Ben Witherington III, Asbury Theological Seminary

"[Schreiner's] overall treatment of New Testament theology offers an excellent exposition of the New Testament's central message, the glory of God in Christ. This book is especially significant for taking a more thematic approach than most other New Testament theologies. The appendix and the helpful and full bibliography will give students an outstanding source for further study and research in the area and themes of New Testament theology. Students and scholars are in the author's debt for providing a very helpful tool that will prove its value."--Panayotis Coutsoumpos, Review of Biblical Literature
