In this letter to his complicated church in Corinth, Paul aims to expand on the deeply paradoxical nature of the Christian life. The importance of understanding this key doctrine makes 2 Corinthians an ideal study for believers today.

What many readers don't realize is that Luke, who was likely a Gentile, wrote his Gospel with a thorough knowledge of the Old Testament-pointing to Jesus's life, ministry, and death as the culmination of Old Testament expectations and prophecy.

Understanding Mark in the Context of the Old and New Testaments
The book of Mark-the first and shortest Gospel written-serves as both a historical and theological account, connecting Jesus to the whole storyline of the Bible. Mark writes against the backdrop of the Old Testament and draws from other New Testament writers, specifically Peter and Paul, to articulate many themes that are found in the rest of the New Testament.

Join New Testament scholar Thomas Schreiner as he explores the meaning and purpose of the book of Revelation.
The book of Revelation can feel more intimidating to read than other books of the Bible. It invites readers into a world that seems confusing and sometimes even strange: golden lampstands, seven seals, a dragon, and a rider on a white horse. But at its core, Revelation is a message of hope written to Christians facing hardship, and it's worth...

The Book of Revelation is a work of profound theology. But its literary form makes it impenetrable to many modern listeners and open to all kinds of misinterpretations. Richard Bauckham explains how the book's imagery conveyed meaning in its original context and how the book's theology is inseparable from its literary structure and composition.
Revelation is seen to offer not an esoteric and encoded forecast of historical events but rather a theocentric...

Before discussing a theology of each of the four letters, Davids first deals with their common aspects-their shared background in the Greco-Roman world and a similar Christology, view of the source of sin, and eschatology-thus...
