Self-Checkout Option

A selection of books recommended by pastors or classes at HBC will be available on the shelf outside of the Resource Center for Self-Checkout. Please fill out the form located with the books and leave it in the check-out box to be processed later.

The Resource Center functions like a library. 

This means that late fees do apply to resources that have been checked out. 

1. The due dates along with their late fees help keep the books circulating and benefit all our patrons.
2. Late fees are natural incentives to return library materials in a timely manner.
3. We are a not-for-profit library, and the fees help us to replace damaged items and purchase new resources for our congregation.

 

Pastor’s Pick

Biblical Theology

The Pastor’s Pick for April is Biblical Theology: A Canonical, Thematic, and Ethical Approach

Pastors, thoughtful Christians, and students of Scripture must learn how to carefully read and understand the Bible, but it can be difficult to know where to start. In this clear, logical guide, Andreas J. Kostenberger and Gregory Goswell explain how to interpret Scripture from three effective viewpoints: canonical, thematic, and ethical.

Biblical Theology is arranged book by book from the Old Testament (using the Hebrew order) through the New Testament. For each text, Kostenberger and Goswell analyze key biblical-theological themes, discussing the book’s place in the overall storyline of Scripture. Next, they focus on the ethical component, showing how God seeks to transform the lives of his people through the inspired text. Following this technique, readers will better understand the theology of each book and its author.

  • A Clearly Written Guide on Biblical Theology: Analyzes all 66 books of the Bible, with emphasis on the coherent, unified framework of Scripture
  • Helps Readers Thoughtfully Interpret Scripture: Provides an essential foundation for a valid theological understanding of Scripture that informs Christian doctrine and ethics
  • Ideal for Pastors, Academics, and Other Serious Students of Scripture: This clear, thoroughly researched guide can be used as a textbook in seminary classes studying biblical theology or the Old and New Testaments

If you have a question about a specific author, book, or theological resource, contact Pastor Jeff at jeff@hbclynchburg.com.
