This review is from: Central Themes in Biblical Theology: Mapping Unity in Diversity (Paperback)
"The purpose of theology is doxology." -- Scott J. Hafemann

This is one of the most helpful books I have read in a long while. Precise in meaning, broadening in vision, provoking in thought. How are we to view the 66 books contained in the Bible as one continuous flow of thought from the revelatory God? Sure... redemptive history seems the most obvious answer, but isn't there more to it than that? Is that the only thing that unifies the Word of God? Hafemann and House think not--they've edited this book compiling two essays of their own with essays from other leading scholars:

Hafemann on the covenant relationship
Schreiner on the commands of God
Thielman on the atonement
Dempster on the servant of the Lord
House on the day of the Lord
Martens on the people of God
Ciampa on the history of redemption

Readers will not agree with every assertion made in the book (when is that ever not the case), but the evidence contained therein will force such a reader to substantiate their own claims. Very helpful read, and necessary for an engaging theological mind.
