Book Review: 40 Questions on Biblical Theology

When I received 40 Questions on Biblical Theology  I was excited. I shared that I had received the book with my pastor who only said "good luck." 

This book is thorough, concise, and even devotional. Anyone teaching a beginners course on BT or new to the discipline must have this book. I receive a free copy of this book from the publisher, Kregel Publications, in exchange for an honest review. It is definitely a must have for any one wanting to learn more about Biblical Theology, especially our lay members in the church. 

Having attended a seminary, I still felt that my books were inadequate when I picked up this book. I love that the book's forty questions are subdivided into five headings:

1) Definition

2) Method

3) Illustrations via Themes

4) New Testament Application of Old Testament Themes

5) Applications

Does this book deserve readership? Absolutely. I almost wish this book was a part of a deeper study on the five headings; and definitely wish this book was a book that more seminarians had to read. 

Do I think this book is particularly hard to read? No, I believe it is an easy read; it's concise and straight-forward. It's not written in a text book style, though that is exactly what it is. I give it 5 stars for ease of reading.
