Dictionary of the New Testament Use of the Old Testament (Beale, Carson, et. al.)

[inkling]

I have had and used the Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament (CNTUOT) for years so I would consider this upcoming companion volume essential (even if a little costly). Due out in November - this description from Logos:

...covers a range of interpretive topics and includes summary articles on each biblical book and numerous themes. It also unpacks concepts mentioned in the CNTUOT, demonstrates how the Old Testament uses the Old Testament, and addresses a wide range of biblical-theological, hermeneutical, and exegetical topics.​

​

This handy reference book is for all serious students of the Bible as they study how and why Old Testament texts reappear and are reappropriated throughout the Bible.​

I think this is the kind of volume that is best used electronically as it will contain many links to other sources and texts that can be instantly accessed while reading an article.

Curious to see how this differs from the commentary. There are just too many things to study for exegesis (the original languages etcs), this just adds more stuff

I've got the commentary on my shelf and think it's a tremendous resource. I'm also curious about how this will differ from the commentary. Perhaps as it's a dictionary it will begin with words and their different uses in both the OT/NT? It'd be wonderful if there were a site that had a sample of scanned pages from the upcoming book.

I agree I wish there were sample pages of the index posted but I have not yet found any. My guess is, if you have the New Dictionary of Biblical Theology this one may be similar, but more comprehensive and up to date. I got the NDBT over 20 years ago and it is a tremendous resource with essays and topical entries - again, very useful in Logos for the reasons stated above.

I would rather use the money for the recent Beale book on Union with Christ personally

Handbooks on the New Testament Set, 3 Volumes | Baker Publishing Group

Reminds me, this set is very good. All the NT is given a biblical theological treatment by 3 excellent BT theologians.

It is $10 cheaper on kindle.

The price variance is interesting between Kindle and Logos - with each alternating at times as less expensive. But the product of a reference book in Logos is fundamentally different and superior for research purposes with its in-article links to other resources (assuming they are owned), as well as tagging, folder organization, and database organization system for accessing and finding any notes taken.

I would venture to say Logos overall is actually cheaper, especially with the deals and discounts that come with sets.

With a book like this, you would want it on Logos. e.g being able to directly see LXX references with a click.
