Quo Vadis, Evangelicalism?: Nine Presidential Addresses from the First Fifty Years of the Journal of the Evangelical Theological Study
Quo vadis?-Where are you going?-is an appropriate question to ask of the current evangelical movement. To get a bearing on evangelical thought and assess future directions, the editor of the Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society, Andreas J. Kostenberger, has gathered selected addresses from past presidents of the ETS and contributed a thorough introduction and probing epilogue of his own. Covering the early years, the maturing movement, and recent times, the addresses-which span JETS’ first fifty years-include discussions of foundational doctrinal issues, exegetical and theological practice and methodology, and current concerns delivered by some of evangelicalism’s most distinguished leaders.
Whatever Happened to Truth?
“Here is an anomaly: Christians outside the West dying because they believe their faith is true and Christians inside the West doffing their hats to the idea and then looking the other way! This book explores what it should mean to say that Christians know the truth, doing so in ways that are searching, sure-footed, biblically convincing, and intellectually satisfying.” —David F. Wells, Andrew Mutch Distinguished Professor of Historical and Systematic Theology, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary

Books about Biblical Theology
Do We Know Jesus?
Co-translated by Dr. Köstenberger. A completely new translation of this powerful classic examination of true daily discipleship. First written in 1937, this devotional book provides 366 daily readings on what it means to know and follow Jesus. Known for his intellectual abilities as well as his evangelical piety, Schlatter’s writing will challenge the mind and enrich the heart of every disciple of Jesus.
Salvation to the Ends of the Earth: A Biblical Theology of Mission
According to Andreas Köstenberger and Peter O’Brien, this significant theme has rarely been given its due attention in biblical theology. Motivated by their passion to see God’s mission carried out in today’s world, they offer a comprehensive study of the theme of mission. In Salvation to the Ends of the Earth they explore the entire sweep of biblical history, including the Old Testament, the second-temple period, each New Testament Gospel, Paul and his writings, and the General Epistles and Revelation.
The History of the Christ: The Foundation of New Testament Theology
Appearing for the first time in English, The History of the Christ is a translation of the first volume of this Tübingen scholar’s Die Theologie des Neuen Testaments (New Testament Theology). According to translator Andreas Köstenberger, New Testament Theology, perhaps like no other work by Schlatter, provides access to the totality of his theology, tracing in bold, broad strokes the movement of the gospel.
The Theology of the Apostles: The Development of New Testament Theology
Translated by Dr. Köstenberger. The second volume of Schlatter’s New Testament theology demonstrates that the teaching of the apostles was consistent with the message of Jesus.
