Publisher's Description
▼▲In Exodus 34 Moses asks to see Gods glory, and God reveals himself as a God who is merciful and just. James Hamilton Jr. contends that from this passage comes a biblical theology that unites the meta-narrative of Scripture under one central theme: Gods glory in salvation through judgment.
Hamilton begins in the Old Testament by showing that Israel was saved through Gods judgment on the Egyptians and the Caananites. God was glorified through both his judgment and mercy, accorded in salvation to Israel. The New Testament unfolds the ultimate display of Gods glory in justice and mercy, as it was Gods righteous judgment shown on the cross that brought us salvation. Gods glory in salvation through judgment will be shown at the end of time, when Christ returns to judge his enemies and save all who have called on his name.
Hamilton moves through the Bible book by book, showing that there is one theological center to the whole Bible. The volumes systematic method and scope make it a unique resource for pastors, professors, and students.

In an era when centers in general no longer hold, Hamilton makes a strong case for the centrality to biblical theology of what C. H. Dodd called the two-beat rhythm of biblical history: salvation through judgment. Hamilton discovers this theme in every book of the Bible and argues that it is the heartbeat of Gods ultimate purpose: the publication of his glory. In seeking to do justice to scriptural unity and diversity alike, Hamiltons work represents biblical theology at its best.
-Kevin J. Vanhoozer
Blanchard Professor of Theology, Wheaton College Graduate School
Centered on the important themes of salvation and judgment, Hamiltons book models well how a thematic approach toward biblical theology might be applied to the whole of Scripture. It is to be warmly welcomed as an invitation to reflect on biblical truth and an opportunity to dialogue on how the unity of the Old and New Testaments may be articulated best.
-T. Desmond Alexander
Senior Lecturer in Biblical Studies and Director of Postgraduate Studies, Union Theological College
Who said that the search for a center in biblical theology is a dead end? In this bold and courageous book, which deals with the entire Bible, James Hamilton Jr. dons the mantle of an explorer in search of the holy grail of biblical theology. As he journeys through the Bible, there are many sights in the biblical landscape that will arrest the attention of those who accompany him, including the pivotal revelation of God in Exodus 34:67. Hamiltons thoughtful analysis and reflection provide many insights into the biblical text. While you may not agree with all of his conclusions, you wont come back from your journey with him without a greater sense of Gods majesty and glory. Rather than being a dead end, this is a gateway into a new world.
