Richard Gamble's three-volume Whole Counsel of God explores the relationships between exegesis and hermeneutics, and between biblical, systematic and historical theology. He bridges the gap so many have identified between traditional systematic theology and biblical theology, writes Richard Pratt, and penetrates beyond scholarly concerns to life issues that every believer faces.

Following the first volume, God's Mighty Acts in the Old Testament, this one examines the nature of New Testament Scripture and introduces the New Testament material itself. Gamble engages theologians across disciplines and across church history in the process, so the volume doubles as a guide to the discussion. Substantial, and best read in sequence.
