This work is a collection of twenty-five papers that I have personally written. They consist of themes which were actually suggested, assigned and moderated by seasoned professors and biblical scholars in various aspects of Biblical Theology. Although, in some cases I have modified the themes, yet, I tried as much as possible to remain focused on the objectives of the papers.

One very interesting point to note is, the treatment of most of these themes basically from the biblical perspective. This is mostly with regards to themes drawn from courses which are not "strictly scriptural courses", but rather are more of theological courses, which nonetheless, form an integral part of the study of Biblical Theology. So, in addition to the core scriptural courses, I have featured themes from: Fundamental Theology, Ecclesiology and Eschatology, Sacramental and Liturgical Theology, Trinitarian Theology etcetera.

Also, it suffices to note that this work is not a commentary on the bible, nor is it a comprehensive approach to all the courses in Biblical Theology. Rather, it is a treatment of some important, provocative and challenging themes scholars or students encounter in the course of their study of Biblical Theology. This is simply meant to give one an idea of how these themes together shape Biblical Theology, and most importantly, how to approach some of these themes. I hope you will find them very helpful and interesting.
