Another Website on Biblical Theology

In his review of the book The Drama of Scripture: Finding Our Place in the Biblical Story by Craig G. Bartholomew and Michael W. Goheen (Baker, 2004), Graeme Goldsworthy recommends the authors' website, www.biblicaltheology.ca, as "an extremely useful tool that, apart from promoting the book, contains suggested syllabi, PowerPoint slides, and some important website links relating to biblical theology."

The authors, following N.T. Wright, conceive of the biblical storyline as a drama with six acts:

  1. Creation: God Establishes His Kingdom
  2. Fall: Rebellion in the Kingdom
  3. Redemption Initiated: The King Chooses Israel
  4. Redemption Accomplished: The Coming of the King
  5. The Mission of the Church: Spreading the News of the King
  6. Redemption Completed: The Return of the King
