Thomas Schreiner's substantial New Testament Theology examined the unifying themes that emerge from a detailed reading of the New Testament canon. Magnifying God in Christ provides a student-level digest of Schreiner's massive work, exploring the key themes and teachings of the New Testament in a more accessible and concise way. In addition to summarizing the findings of Schreiner's larger work, this survey provides answers to the "so what?" question of New Testament theology.
Comprehensive and up to date, the book is arranged thematically and includes careful exegesis of key passages. It argues for a New Testament theology that is God-focused, Christ-centered, and Spirit-saturated and offers students of the Bible a big-picture view of what the New Testament is all about.

What a great distillation of the main focus of the NT. Hard to think of an important idea that didn't get touched on and he even addressed some important interpretive issues in NT scholarship today with conservative judgments and sparkling clarity. Would make a great gift for anyone either starting out in deeper study of the bible or even for the seasoned reader who delights in God's truth. I found my self delighting in God all throughout it. Hard to think of anything to disagree with in this magnificent setting forth of the NT theology, which Schreiner sees as the fulfillment of the OT.
