Biblical theology is, Wilfrid Harrington tell us, the foundation of all theology, the living soul of theological study and development. This illuminating book by one of Ireland's most distinguished biblical scholars covers an astonishingly wide field. There is a detailed survey of the most notable work done by experts in Old Testaments and in New Testament theology. A long chapter is also given to the theology of the Bible as a whole while the last section deals with the development of biblical theology as a science and examines and assesses different methods and the latest trends. The author takes full account of the work done by others in his field and there is a comprehensive bibliography.
