Zut Alors. I will never catch up with Andreas Köstenberger. Every time I publish an article, he publishes four books. (In fact, one should never compare one’s CV with his, for fear that one will descend into a state of weltschmerz. Don’t say I never told you.) Speaking of which, Dr. Köstenberger recently published Invitation to Biblical Interpretation: Exploring the Hermeneutical Triad of History, Literature, and Theology (Kregel, 2011). This work promises to be a … [Read More]
Andreas Köstenberger has been a colleague of mine for a decade now. He is the author of scores of books and articles, the number of which perhaps exceeds the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore. His most recent book (I think he averages a book per week), Excellence, is a powerful and elegant little volume arguing that God is excellent in every way, and that he is the fountainhead of excellence, … [Read More]
Pardon the equestrian analogy, but we thought you’d want to know. On March 23-24, 2012, Southeastern will be hosting the Southeastern Regional meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society. The topic is Biblical Theology and the plenary speakers are Paul House, Scott Hafemann, and Andreas Köstenberger. In addition the Evangelical Philosophical Society and the Evangelical Missiological Society will hold their meetings concurrently on Southeastern’s campus.

It would be difficult to overstate the significance of the New Testament for the Christian faith, non? The New Testament continues the narrative begun in the Old Testament with the fourfold record of the birth, death, resurrection, and ascension of the promised and long-awaited Messiah of Israel, and so the world, Jesus. His message–that the kingdom of God is at hand, so all should repent and believe the gospel–was proclaimed by John the Baptist (see … [Read More]
This series arose out of extended reflection on the Scriptures, out of which the Lord has made clear to me some of the perils of seminary, many of which I have succumbed to or been tempted by over the past decade and a half. I have attempted to communicate these perils to those of you who would read this post and might benefit from it. Although I have interjected humor at several points, I could … [Read More]
We at BtT are happy to congratulate both Andreas Köstenberger and B&H Publishing Group, as B&H announced today that Köstenberger is the new “Director of Acquisitions” for their academic program. Köstenberger takes this new post in addition to his roles as director of Ph.D. Studies and professor of New Testament and Biblical Theology at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, N.C, and editor of the Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society (JETS).

Andreas Köstenberger has unleashed an avalanche of books over the past decade, and none more significant than his recently released co-authored (with Scott Kellum and Chuck Quarles) introduction to the New Testament, The Cradle, The Cross, and The Crown (B&H, 2009).
Köstenberger, Kellum, and Quarles have given us a comprehensive introduction to the New Testament which not only matches the strengths of other evangelical introductory texts, but also provides several unique distinctive such as (1) a … [Read More]
I have three things to say about Andreas Kostenberger’s latest book, A Theology of John’s Gospel and Letters (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 2009). First, go to Amazon and purchase this book immediately, because Kostenberger almost always gets it right in matters of biblical studies and biblical theology (having been, I suppose, mugged by biblical reality in the cradle). Second, be careful lugging this hefty volume to bed for late night reading, for fear of being crushed … [Read More]
