An introduction to the covenant theology of the Old Testament, Second Temple Judaism, the New Testament, and the early Fathers, exploring the implications for contemporary theology. The concept of 'covenant' is a crucial component in understanding God and his actions throughout salvation history. New Covenant, New Community looks at covenant in the Old and New Testaments and the history of Christian interpretation, and makes a substantial contribution to biblical theological studies in this area. What are the elements of continuity and discontinuity in terms of the covenant concept between the Old and New Testaments? Can we truly speak of a 'new' covenant that is distinct from the old? What are the implications of a biblical understanding of covenant for the community of faith - then and now? These are just a few of the many questions Grabe addresses in this far-reaching, well-researched and highly accessible study.

Andrew Fuller (1754-1815) was one of the foremost English Baptist ministers of his generation, whose influence was to spread to North America and, indeed, around the world. This study uses considerable primary material to examine the central aspects of Fuller's life and thought, including his work as a theologian and missionary statesman. Despite his importance, Fuller has been largely neglected by both theologians and historians of the Evangelical and Baptist movements. This in-depth yet accessible study seeks to redress the balance. It shows Fuller to be a significant figure, one whose life and work have continuing relevance today.

Richard Harvey, himself a Messianic Jew, maps the diverse theological terrain of this young movement.He makes an original and innovative contribution by clarifying, affirming and constructively critiquing the present state of its theology. The book examines five topics of theological concern: God's nature, activity and attributes (can the one God of Israel and the Christian Trinity be the same?) The Messiah (Messianic Jewish Christologies) Torah in theory (the meaning and interpretation of the Torah in the light of Jesus) Torah in practice (Messianic practice of Sabbath, food laws and Passover) Eschatology (the diverse models employed within the movement to describe the future of Israel). Within each topic Harvey explores the range of Messianic Jewish views and their roots in both Jewish and Christian theological traditions.The author proposes a typology of eight theological tendencies within Messianic Judaism and identifies issues where further theological development is required.

In this book, respected Old Testament scholar Ronald Clements explores and elucidates a much-debated subject a the place and significance of the Old Testament wisdom writings in Jewish and Christian theology. Based on the Didsbury Lectures delivered by Clements at British Isles Nazarene College in October 1989, 'Wisdom in Theology' first looks at the wisdom tradition in terms of its ancient Near Eastern background, it distinctiveness in Israelite life, and its historical development. Clements then discusses major wisdom themes under various headings: (1) wisdom and the world, (2) wisdom and health, (3) wisdom and politics, (4) wisdom and the household, and (5) wisdom and the divine realm. In explicating the unique role of the wisdom tradition, particularly in post-exilic Israel, Clements shows how wisdom, as opposed to the torah and prophecy, provided the Jews of the dispersion with the basis for a new, noncultic, universalistic worldview. Clements's scholarly discussion demonstrates to modern readers how much is yet to be learned regarding the inheritance of wisdom from the ancient world.
