Gupta Reviews Joel Green's Practicing Theological Interpretation

I am grateful for Nijay Gupta's brief review of Joel Green's Practicing Theological Interpretation. I have added this book to my Amazon wishlist.

Practicing Theological Interpretation: Engaging Biblical Texts for Faith and Formation
(Theological Explorations for the Church Catholic)
Joel B. Green
Baker Academic, 2012
Paperback
160 pages

1. Living Faithfully in Exile: Who Reads the Bible Well?
2. Neglecting Widows and Serving the Word? "History" and Theological Interpretation
3. Scripture and Classical Christology: The "Rule of Faith" and Theological Interpretation
4. John Wesley, Wesleyans, and Theological Interpretation: Learning from a Premodern Interpreter


I am reading through the Dictionary for Theological Interpretation of the Bible and am profiting from it.  Joel Green is also a contributor to this dictionary, having written the following articles: Commentaries, Context, Dictionaries and Encyclopedias; and Narrative Theology.  I am not out of the As yet, so I'll come to Green's articles after a while.

Another work along these lines that I would recommend is Daniel Treier's Introducing Theological Interpretation of Scripture: Recovering a Christian Practice (Baker Academic, 2008).

New General Editor of the NICNT Series Announced

Joel B. Green

Eerdmans has announced that Joel B. Green will be the new General Editor of the NICNT series.  The NICNT volumes are a staple in the libraries of many evangelical Christians.  The reputation of this series for excellence is remarkable.

Joel Green will be the fourth General Editor of this series following Ned B. Stonehouse (1946-1962), F. F. Bruce (1962-1990) and Gordon D. Fee (1990-2011).

Congratulations!

Note: Joel B. Green is the author of the NICNT volume on The Gospel of Luke (1997).

With regard to the future of this commentary series, Green writes:

Gordon’s fingerprints will remain on the series for years to come. New volumes will appear soon, written by authors he recruited. These include commentaries on Hebrews [by Gareth L Cockerill], for example, as well as on the Gospel of Mark [Rikki Watts] and Galatians [David A. deSilva]. Longer-term, we will witness the ongoing renewal of the series, with new authors and new emphases keeping pace with the ongoing work of New Testament scholarship. And the NICNT will continue to model the priority given to engagement with the biblical text in the service of pastors and students – carrying on the good work for which the series has long been known.
