Biblical Theology Books
It seems like Logos does not have many books on biblical theology? What are some you would recommend that are in logos? I am looking for ones from a covenantal perspective?

As the title you quoted says, Grudem's book is a 'systematic theology' (what others call 'dogmatics') rather than a 'biblical theology'. He explains this difference on p. 22/23 of my printed copy
Indeed, same in digital: the following is from ( Wayne A. Grudem, Systematic Theology: An Introduction to Biblical Doctrine (Leicester, England; Grand Rapids, MI: Inter-Varsity Press; Zondervan Pub. House, 2004), 21-23.)
[quote]for the purposes of this book the following definition will be used: Systematic theology is any study that answers the question, “What does the whole Bible teach us today?” about any given topic.
[quote]historical theology (a historical study of how Christians in different periods have understood various theological topics
[quote]
Biblical theology gives special attention to the teachings of individual authors and sections of Scripture, and to the place of each teaching in the historical development of Scripture
[quote]the boundary lines between these various disciplines often overlap at the edges, and parts of one study blend into the next. Yet there is p 23 still a difference...

Hi Phil,
I'm interested in 2 resources appearing on your list by Roy Zuck the link provided references New Studied in Biblical Theology neither of the Zuck resources are included in this resource. I contacted my salesperson for help and he confirmed that the Zuck resources don't seem to be a part of the Logos library of resources would you kindly elucidate this issue? Thanks

Phil? It would be a good addition if you would add to the sheet what the authors theological view is. Reformed, Anglican, Baptist etc.

Phil,
I would add "Biblical Theology in the Life of the Church: A guide for Ministry" by Michael Lawrence to the list. It is not a biblical theology, but an explanation of biblical theology and a practical how to do biblical theology in ministry. An excellent book.

I'm wondering if you want to add this Logos set: Biblical Theology for Life, by Lunde and Wright. I am only familiar with Wright's volume, very good. Has a particular focus, does not treat all OT books (overtly). But Biblical Theology nonetheless.
I like Apples. Especially Honeycrisp.

Roy Zuck's A Biblical Theology of the Old Testament and A Biblical Theology of the New Testament have been recommended to me as "must have" resources for helping identify the main theological theme of a particular passage as I study book by book through the Bible. Since these two resources are from Moody Publishers and therefore unavailable in Logos, could anyone please recommend any OT/NT biblical theology resource within Logos that is organized similarly and is at least as thorough?

The best is Thomas Schreiner's The King in His Beauty: A Biblical Theology of the Old and New Testaments, which I'm sure you'd be delighted with.
The New Dictionary of Biblical Theology also has book-by-book entries, in addition to essays and themes.
You shouldn't ignore Greg Beale's A New Testament Biblical Theology: The Unfolding of the Old Testament in the New, despite it not being thematic and focussing in the It really is superb. NT. Another excellent New Testament Biblical Theologies is New Testament Theology: Magnifying God in Christ by Thomas Schreiner.
In the Old Testament only , you might want to consider William Dumbrell's The Faith of Israel: A Theological Survey of the Old Testament, which is book-by-book.

I'd recommend for the OT: Bruce Waltke's https://www.logos.com/product/17275/an-old-testament-theology
and for the NT: I.Howard Marshall's https://www.logos.com/product/2948/new-testament-theology-many-witnesses-one-gospel (note that the author is still in the MarchMadness Sale Tournament, so this book may come on sale soon - I own it in paper and so far have the abridged version in Logos)
both are organized in similar (book-by-book) fashion as the Zuck-edited titles, are more thorough than those and the authors are recognized as leading evangelical scholars in the field.
Have joy in the Lord!

While there are good theology books, the best one to define our theological framework is the Word of God. We should spend more time in the Bible than any theology book.
in Christ!

Agree totally here. Schreiner's is the best I am aware of and one of the absolute most valuable resources you could add to your library. Another very good one is George Eldon Ladd's New Testament Theology - a classic but stands the test of time very well.

Thanks to everyone for all the great recommendations and helpful insight! I'm carefully evaluating each resource mentioned. I have also not yet ruled out getting Zuck's OT and NT biblical theology resources outside of Logos. When compared to the impressive resources recommended in this thread, does anyone believe Zuck's two biblical theology resources are superior enough to warrant purchasing outside of Logos? Again, my main goal is to find something that will help me identify theological themes within each book of the Bible.

My rule for theological dictionaries is
type:encyclopedia AND subject:theology

Thank you:
Mark, have you thought of doing a screencast in which a particular topic (stewardship, discipleship, worship, Angel of the LORD, etc.) is studied in a systematic theology way, so that we can see how you use L6 tools to do that.
Maybe it could be a mini mobile ed course.
I would be interested to get such a screencast.
Blessings.

Thanks a lot for the rule.
I modified the collection, adding some resources.
One collection I added was the mobile ed one that uses the rule: mobile AND subject:theology
That way I can also get access to the transcripts.
Thanks again, Blessings.

Before they parted ways I got enough advance warning to snatch up most Moody titles I wanted at the time. There are a few I still wanted but could not afford. I have been waiting a long time for Moody to come back.
New product SKUs?! Would they dare?

Hope not but as they would be essentially signing a new contract agreement I guess it's possible, it would not affect our current ownership but would make dynamic pricing messy - assuming they played ball on that.

I'm still here. Just extra busy and behind on the forums.
We're making progress, but I don't have a time frame yet. We're working hard to bring you Moody titles as soon as we can. I'm sorry for the delay.
