From The President

Biblical theology, understood as a branch of Christian theology that seeks to expose and explain and exult the theological unfolding of Holy Scripture, has never been absent from Christ’s people, but the renaissance of biblical theology has come as a signal event in evangelical life and a hallmark of evangelical conviction and preaching.

R. Albert Mohler Jr.

The recovery of biblical theology in our midst comes with the promise of an even more comprehensive assertion of biblical truth and a clearer understanding of God’s faithfulness and redeeming love. For this recovery I am deeply thankful. It has transformed evangelical preaching and greatly encouraged God’s people. Biblical theology drives us into an even deeper devotion to the Gospel and the old, old story of Jesus and his love.
