From adam and israel to the church: a biblical theology of the people of god - benjamin l. gladd

What does it mean to be created in Gods image? How has the fall affected this image? Who are the people of God? Addressing these core questions about spiritual identity, From Adam and Israel to the Church examines the nature of the people of God from Genesis to Revelation through the lens of being created and formed in Gods image.

Benjamin Gladd argues that living out Gods image means serving as prophets, priests, and kings, and he explains how Gods people function in these roles throughout Scripture--from Adam and Eve to the nation of Israel, from Jesus to the church.

The consistent call of the people of God is to serve as Gods image-bearers in the world.

This first volume in Essential Studies in Biblical Theology lays a foundation for subsequent volumes, introducing key biblical-theological themes such as temple, king, priest, prophet, creation, and redemption.

Essential Studies in Biblical Theology (ESBT), edited by Benjamin L.

Gladd, explore the central or essential themes of the Bibles grand storyline.

Taking cues from Genesis 1-3, authors explore the presence of these themes throughout the entire sweep of redemption history.

Written for students, church leaders, and laypeople, the ESBT offers an introduction to biblical theology.
