I didn't really think his OT Theology was all that great, and I pretty much feel the same as with the class. Nonetheless, it can be helpful. He uses a book-by-book approach.dannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03969731898965656137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4669291590397336050.post-32617861974525665232010-04-26T10:54:33.037-05:002010-04-26T10:54:33.037-05:00I've only looked briefly at Goldingay's. ...I've only looked briefly at Goldingay's. Since I moved off the seminary campus when only the 1st volume was published, I haven't really had consistent access to it. What I have seen is fine, nothing great. And I certainly can't justify the cost for all 3 volumes on my fairly limited budget. I wouldn't have purchased Waltke's; I got it for review from Zondervan.dannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03969731898965656137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4669291590397336050.post-88804899130609540542010-04-26T08:34:06.784-05:002010-04-26T08:34:06.784-05:00Thanks for the recommendations.

Out of curiosity, have you looked at Goldingay's at all? That's another one that looked good.<br /><br />I've heard good things about Ladd's work. As it is a classic maybe if I can find a good deal on it I'll grab it.Marcus Maherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07729718021822471179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4669291590397336050.post-45196630560936447852010-04-26T05:47:59.457-05:002010-04-26T05:47:59.457-05:00I've only recently come to own any NT Theology...I've only recently come to own any NT Theology texts. I got Marshall for Christmas, but haven't used it much. I also picked up Ladd's for wicked cheap. I used it as a reference for a recent teaching on eschatology, and it was outstanding. Then again, it's weak on other areas of NT theology (but I also think eschatology is hugely important, so I appreciate Ladd's emphasis). At any rate, if you can get a good deal on Ladd, it's well worth it. <br /><br />My favorite OT Theology is Waltke. I know there are plenty of others out there, but I like Waltke for a few reasons. 1) He shows his exegesis, rather than assuming it. 2) He sees an overall theme, but doesn't force it when it is warranted. 3) As deep as it is, there are moments on wonderful devotion in it.<br /><br />He doesn't really take a book-by-book approach, but it isn't thematic, either. So, Genesis will get a couple chapters (for creation, Noah, Abraham, etc), whereas some of the historical books are grouped together. It actually makes a lot of sense when you read it. Anyway, highly recommended.dannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03969731898965656137noreply@blogger.com
