Nearly 600 entries offering concise definitions of key concepts and balanced perspectives on key thinkers and movements from all the major traditions. Anthony Thiselton's major works have been hugely influential in both biblical studies and theology. This dictionary is the first book of its kind to take full account of key developments in biblical hermeneutics as well as historical and contemporary systematic theology. Each section has its separate bibliography. Hence the work combines some shorter articles, sometimes constituting explanatory teaching tools of 50-100 words, with longer articles which embody reflection and research.
