Synopsis

Anthony Thiselton's major works have been hugely influential in both biblical studies and theology. This dictionary is the first book of its kind to take full account of key developments in biblical hermeneutics as well as historical and contemporary systematic theology. Each section has its separate bibliography. Hence the work combines some shorter articles, sometimes constituting explanatory teaching tools of 50-100 words, with longer articles which embody reflection and research. Written by one of our greatest living evangelical theologians, with a worldwide reputation in both biblical studies and systematics. Will appeal both to readers of Thiselton's earlier works and to new readers looking for a reliable one-volume reference work written from a broadly evangelical standpoint. Sure to become a landmark work in its field, and an essential reference tool for students in colleges, bible schools and seminaries throughout the world.

Review:

'This is a tour de force by one of Britain's leading theological scholars. It offers an authoritative guide to every part of theology and is accessibly written, with excellent suggestions for further reading. Invaluable.' John Barton, University of Oxford 'Anthony Thiselton's previous publications give sufficient proof of his prowess as a New Testament scholar, biblical commentator, and expert in philosophical hermeneutics. In an era of increasing specialization, few people are as qualified to speak authoritatively across the theological disciplines ... There are not many people whose opinion about every theological thing under the sun I would want to seek out; Anthony Thiselton is on that short list.' Kevin J. Vanhoozer, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
