Could you guys please offer some input on books on Biblical Theology? I'm looking for something to give my wife that is more than just an introduction into the subject. I'd like something that can help her, and equip her in the area of Biblical theology. I was going to go with Vos on this, and may still, but the
review of the book on Monergism said, "Vos proceeds on the assumption that, in order to do justice to the progressively unfolding nature of special revelation, it is illegitimate to use later revelation to inform the meaning of earlier revelation". So, I'm just trying to get a better ideas of other books on this subject out there. These are the books that looked like they might fill the bill from Monergism books:
The Progress of Redemption: The Story of Salvation from Creation to the New Jerusalem by Willem VanGemeren The Coming of the Kingdom by Herman N. Ridderbos Central Themes in Biblical Theology: Mapping Unity in Diversity by Scott J Hafemann & Paul R. House (Editors) Finding Christ in the Old Testament
I'd welcome any reviews or thoughts on these books. I'm going to keep looking, but any help you guys can offer is greatly appreciated. I'm hoping to find something that is challenging and expanding for my wife in understanding the centrality of Christ and the unfolding plan of redemption as seen in Scripture. Thanks for your help and time!
