I do not think they are of the caliber of the other volumes I have listed above. That is always a subjective thing, but I have benefited from these works more than any of the works Goldsworthy has written. This is not to say they are not helpful. Thanks for commenting. Nick James,

Do you not care for his works or have you just not read them? and hey, I'm from Pittsburgh and I think Goldsworthy rocks. You don't have to be an aussie to appreciate a good biblical theological teacher who happens to come from down under. Though I do think it is interesting how Australia has produced so many excellent biblical-theological preachers. Maybe it's something in the water, but I think Moore theological college and some of the other good colleges in Australia have alot to do with it.

Horton is doing ST but it is informed by, if not actually driven by, BT. I do agree with Michael that there should be some representation here of Graeme Goldsworthy. In my opinion, Dennis Johnson's "Him We Proclaim" comes closest to the work of Goldsworthy. There will be differences between Goldsworthy and Vos, for instance, but Goldsworthy is especially good for making BT understandable for the layperson.

I would also argue that eschatology is a subset of biblical theology. It is the culmination of the progress of revelation in Christ. Finally, the two volumes on preaching teach principles of how to incorporating a robust biblical theology into your sermons. This is key for any minister of the Gospel.

Certainly many of these books have a more immediate focus other than biblical theology, but they are each very much driven by BT and one can learn quite a bit about BT by reading them.

It is a very helpful book. I also appreciated Dumbrell's work <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1579105564/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=1579107966&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0S0CM2K35EM85T6KMA5K" rel="nofollow">The End from the Beginning</a>. It is available at a better price! Matt, Vos is ok, I guess. LOL Danny,

Have you found any places that sells it for an actually reasonable price?
