<transcy>Biblical Theology Dictionary (Dictionnaire de théologie biblique) </transcy>

This tool, unmatched to date in French, presents books and major biblical themes by showing how they fit into the overall landscape of the Bible, in its unity and diversity. Two hundred key themes are covered - such as creation, eschatology, Israel, Jesus Christ, the kingdom of God, salvation, suffering, wisdom, worship.

The work is divided into three parts. The first deals with major questions of introduction and method: for example how to interpret the Bible, how one goes from the Old to the New Testament, what biblical theology brings to preaching, etc.

In the second part, all the biblical books are discussed, first by corpus (the Pentateuch, the historical books, the Prophets, the wisdom literature, the Synoptic Gospels, the Johannine writings, etc.) then individually. The theology and message of each book is presented, opening for an enrichment of the biblical reading and the reader's overview.

The third part covers, in one hundred and forty articles, the main biblical characters and the major themes, so as to show both the continuity and the originality of the biblical canon and its different parts.

Approximately 120 authors, both English and French speaking, contributed to the writing of this dictionary, making it an essential resource for Bible study and theology.
