Most of us tend to approach the Bible early on in our Christian lives as a vast, cavernous, and largely impenetrable book. We read the text piecemeal, finding golden nuggets of inspiration here and there, but remain unable to plug any given text meaningfully into the overarching storyline.

About Sanctification as Set Apart and Growing in ChristA Biblical Theology of Sanctification from Genesis to Revelation. God’s holiness and the sanctification of his people are key themes throughout the biblical narrative. In this addition to the Short Studies in Biblical Theology series, Marny Köstenberger explores the topic of sanctification—being set apart by God for holiness—which is the impetus for a believer’s God-given mission. Surveying the Bible from beginning to end, Köstenberger teaches that sanctification is a trinitarian enterprise: God creates humanity in his holy image, Christ delivers them from sin, and the Spirit applies the benefits of Christ’s saving work, restoring the original image in Christ. At the core, a believer’s union with Christ, and their experience of abiding in him, powerfully propels their growth in holiness. Short Studies in Biblical Theology: Part of a series designed to give readers accessible volumes on God’s word—other volumes include Resurrection Hope and the Death of Death; The Sabbath as Rest and Hope for the People of God; and more. Analyzes the Word “Sanctification” in Both Hebrew and Greek. Helps Readers Understand How the Old and New Testaments Relate to Each Other. |
