A Biblical Theology of the Royal Priesthood from Genesis to Revelation“You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.” —1 Peter 2:9From Genesis to Revelation, the theme of the royal priesthood runs through the biblical story from the garden of Eden through the priesthood of Israel to Jesus Christ—the true and better high priest. It culminates with the creation of God’s new covenant people, called out of the nations to be his priests to the nations. In this concise treatment, David Schrock traces this theme of priesthood throughout the Bible and displays to readers how Jesus, the great high priest, informs the worship, discipleship, and evangelism of the church. Short and Accessible: Traces the theme of priesthood from Genesis to Revelation and gives practical application for the church todayWritten for Laypeople and Church Leaders: Excellent for students, Bible studies, small groups, and leaders of all levelsPart of the Short Studies in Biblical Theology series

“But many who are first will be last, and the last first.” —Matthew 19:30The Bible is full of ironic situations in which God overturns the world’s wisdom by doing the opposite of what is expected—people are punished by their own sin, the persecution of the church is the catalyst for its growth, Paul claims to have strength through weakness, and more. In this book, biblical scholar G. K. Beale explores God’s pattern of divine irony in both judgment and salvation, finding its greatest expression in Jesus’s triumph over death through death on a cross. Unpacking this pattern throughout redemptive history, Beale shows us how God often uses what is seemingly weak and foolish to underscore his own strength and power in the lives of his people today. Develops the irony of judgment and salvation from the garden of Eden through Israel’s idolatry in the Old Testament to the cross of ChristTeaches readers to see how God uses what is weak and foolish in the world’s eyes to magnify his own power and gloryPart of the Short Studies in Biblical Theology series, which offers readers accessible introductions to major topics in biblical theology
