A Comprehensive Approach to Interpreting the New Testament
The New Testament brings God’s redemptive plan to completion in Jesus Christ. And while pastors, students, and thoughtful Christians celebrate its meaning and significance, many lack a clear starting point for deeper study. In this comprehensive guide—adapted from his original work, Biblical Theology—Andreas J. Köstenberger offers a book-by-book exploration of the New Testament from 3 effective viewpoints: canonical, thematic, and ethical.
The book opens with foundational insights into biblical theology and how the New Testament engages with the Old Testament. It then unfolds 5 main chapters, covering the Gospels, Acts, Paul’s letters, the General Epistles, and Revelation, with attention to each book’s major themes, ethical teachings, and narrative context within the unified storyline of Scripture. This volume helps readers engage deeply with New Testament theology, providing a comprehensive study that is both accessible and enriching for serious students of God’s word.

“When Neil Armstrong landed on the moon and famously said, ‘That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind,’ on July 20, 1969, this was the culmination of years of planning, research, and hard work at NASA that silenced, at least for a while, all the naysayers who said such a monumental task could not be accomplished―ever. In many ways, creating a helpful and detailed New Testament theology that encompasses every book of the New Testament is frankly almost as monumental an achievement as the moon landing, not least because biblical studies has become a discipline that has splintered into many specialized enterprises. Furthermore, New Testament Theology by Köstenberger manages to deal not just with the themes or the storylines of the twenty-seven books of the New Testament but even with the ethics of each book too, recognizing that the theology and ethics of the New Testament are inherently intertwined and interdependent. This book is a giant leap in the right direction to producing a coherent and comprehensive understanding of New Testament theology.”
Ben Witherington III, Jean R. Amos Professor of New Testament for Doctoral Studies, Asbury Theological Seminary; Emeritus Professor, St. Andrews University, Scotland
“More books on biblical and New Testament theology are appearing of late, but this book is a pearl of great price that does not simply probe the central themes and ethics of individual books and authors―it tracks their place in the storyline of Scripture. I wish I’d had this book for my first classes when I began studying God’s word, but it also offers a wealth of insights for those already schooled in Scripture. It is brilliantly conceived and executed. I recommend it highly for pastors, researchers, and students at all levels.”
David E. Garland, Emeritus Professor of Christian Scriptures, George W. Truett Theological Seminary
“This work meets a genuine and crucial need to build biblical theology inductively from the constituent works of the canon. While listening to the individual voices, the author masterfully demonstrates the coherence of the canonical symphony and highlights God’s love for the world in Christ. The author’s competence in addressing and synthesizing such a broad range of material with sensitivity and effectiveness is remarkable!”
Craig S. Keener, F. M. and Ada Thompson Professor of Biblical Studies, Asbury Theological Seminary
“Andreas Köstenberger’s New Testament Theology bears testimony to his decades of careful Bible scholarship, deep commitment to the mission of the gospel, and a heart captured by the love of God in Christ. It is a rich bird’s eye view of the theology of each book of the New Testament, its ethics, and its place in the full tapestry of Scripture. The book is packed with information, insights, and scholarly engagement, yet it manages to be accessible and easy to read. Köstenberger has provided an excellent resource for all students of the Bible, whether for private devotions, Bible study leaders, preachers, seminary students, or scholars.”
Claire S. Smith, New Testament scholar; author, The Appearing of God Our Savior
“Biblical theology explores the interactions of the literary, historical, and theological dimensions of the various biblical books, focusing on the Bible’s unifying storyline. It is, by definition, interdisciplinary. Yet two angles, intrinsic to the nature of the Bible itself, are sorely neglected in most studies of biblical theology: the significance of the order of the books in the Bible and the Bible’s moral teaching. New Testament Theology by Köstenberger incorporates canonical and ethical approaches, resulting in a rich and rewarding exposition that is comprehensive in scope. The book is a magisterial study of immense value to students and scholars, preachers and pastors, and anyone interested in the Bible’s teaching about the will of God for his people and his world.”
Brian S. Rosner, Senior Lecturer in New Testament and Director of Research, Ridley College; author, How to Find Yourself: Why Looking Inward is Not the Answer
“Professor Köstenberger contributes significantly to the field of New Testament theology with this wide-ranging, well-researched monograph. He carefully examines the Scriptures’ canonical structure and book order, wrestles seriously with their unity and diversity, and rightly stresses the essential ethical component of New Testament theology. This volume abounds with fresh insights and faithful exegetical and theological reflections, and I highly recommend it to pastors, scholars, and all serious students of Scripture.”
Brian J. Tabb, President, Bethlehem College and Seminary; General Editor, Themelios
“In New Testament Theology, Köstenberger clearly defines and locates New Testament theology within its canonical, thematic, and ethical setting. He covers every major section of the New Testament within the overall biblical storyline while also showing the relation between the Testaments. You rarely find a work that approaches the Scriptures from an exegetical, theological, and ethical perspective. Here you have it! Köstenberger’s marvelous contribution is comprehensive in scope, holistic in approach, grounded in solid biblical exegesis, and attentive to the unity and diversity of the Scriptures. He is faithful to the Bible’s overarching goal by identifying the love of God in Christ as the heart of the biblical story. Students and church leaders looking for a reliable and engaging resource to guide them through the New Testament’s message about God and how he relates to his people and his world, look no further. I recommend it highly!”
J. Scott Duvall, Fuller Professor of Biblical Studies, Ouachita Baptist University
“Köstenberger’s New Testament Theology is a remarkably comprehensive treatment. It offers both a bird’s-eye view―giving more attention than is often done to the theological significance of the arrangement of the biblical books within the canon―and an up-close-and-personal view analyzing the theological contribution of each book of the New Testament. The author describes the ethical significance and contribution to the storyline of Scripture of each book and each collection of books. This volume thus puts on clear display both the diversity and the unity of our single canonical volume.”
Douglas J. Moo, Professor of New Testament Emeritus, Wheaton College
“The author breaks new ground by furnishing much more under ‘New Testament theology’ than one normally finds. In this book, we encounter methodological considerations and history of the discipline, hermeneutics (implicitly), canonical placement and its implications, theological exposition leading to thematic highlights of each biblical book, the ethics of every book, and each book’s place in the Bible’s storyline. A lengthy and full conclusion ties everything together. The extensive scholarship of Köstenberger results in a wide-ranging synthesis drawing on a wealth of bibliography. The last chapter even offers a vision for the future of biblical theology. Here, then, is a compendium of recent generations of scholarship, with fresh insights for grappling with the whole counsel of Scripture in this and the coming generation.”
Robert W. Yarbrough, Professor of New Testament, Covenant Theological Seminary
“Biblical theology holds in tension a variety of complexities―unity versus diversity, individual book versus corpus or canon, theme versus storyline. It indeed is a challenge to encompass all the layers of Scripture’s richness. In that way, this volume makes a major contribution to the field in that it endeavors to show how all these factors build on each other into a cohesive whole. This work then is not only a resource to observe biblical theology in every book of the New Testament but also gives much food for thought as to how we engage in biblical theology.”
Abner Chou, President and John F. MacArthur Endowed Fellow, The Master’s University and Seminary
