Central Themes in Biblical Theology

Here's a forthcoming book that will be of interest to students of biblical theology: Central Themes in Biblical Theology: Mapping Unity in Diversity, ed. Scott Hafemann and Paul House. It is being published this month by IVP-UK; then Baker Academic will release it in North America next month. Here are the contributors and chapters:
Scott Hafemann, The Covenant Relationship
Tom Schreiner, The Commandments of God
Frank Thielman, Atonement
Stephen Dempster, The Servant of the Lord
Paul House, The Day of the Lord
Elmer Martens, The People of God
Roy Ciampa, The History of Redemption
A while back I had the opportunity to read an early draft of Schreiner's chapter. I remember it as being one of the finest treatments of the issue I had ever read.
