Between Two Worlds

Hearty thanks are due to the folks at Zondervan (and the relevant authors, of course!) for producing what is now an undoubtedly indispensable four-volume collection of textbooks on the Bible.

Two introductions:

• An Introduction to the Old Testament (by Tremper Longman and [the late] Raymond Dillard)
• An Introduction to the New Testament (by D.A. Carson and Doug Moo)

And two canonical theologies:

• An Old Testament Theology: A Canonical and Thematic Approach (by Bruce Waltke)
• Theology of the New Testament: A Canonical and Synthetic Approach (by Frank Thielman)

What a gift this is to the church. These truly are invaluable books--the fruit of years of labor by godly scholars helping pastors, students, and laypeople to come to a better understanding of God's holy Word.

(And to the nerdy bibliophiles out there--an added bonus is that these four volumes are all the same height and design, so they look great next to each other on a bookshelf.)
