These, in no particular order, are the required books for my first session: From Eden to the New Jerusalem: An Introduction to Biblical Theology, T. Desmond Alexander Getting the Message: A Plan for Interpreting and Applying the Bible, Daniel M. Doriani 40 Questions About Interpreting the Bible, Robert Plummer How to Read and Understand the Biblical Prophets: How to Read and Understand the Biblical Prophets, Peter J. Gentry Optional. I ordered before the syllabus was quite online, and found out after that these were optional &#8211; meaning possible replacements if you had already read the book by Alexander. I knew they were optional, but not exactly what optional would mean (one or the other, zero or more, etc.) Nevertheless, I got both: CrossTalk, Michael R. Emlet The Unfolding Mystery: Discovering Christ in the Old Testament (2nd Edition), Edmund P. Clowney F2: Intro to New Testament 2 Interpreting the Pauline Epistles\u00a0(2nd Edition), Tom Schreiner The Cradle, the Cross, and the Crown (2nd Edition), Andreas J. K\u00f6stenberger, L. Scott Kellum and Charles L. Quarles Looking forward to digging in! G."}
