This book attempts to give a popular theology of biblical theology. Whereas his earlier book Gospel and Kingdom focused on a Christian interpretation of the OT, this book attempts a more systematic overview of the whole project of biblical theology for a contemporary and popular readership - Goldsworthy's aim is to introduce the reader to an integrated theology of the whole Bible. This book too has had a significant influence and is also highly recommended as an excellent starting point for anyone wanting to begin engaging with biblical theology.
