FORTHCOMING TITLE, ETA JANUARY 2026
Serious students of the Bible quickly discover the diversity that stems from the human origins of Scripture, such as different authors writing in different times, places, genres, and languages. Written by an expert in biblical theology, this short, accessible book helps readers understand the unity that springs from the divine authorship of Scripture and how the whole Bible fits together.
Alan Thompson enables readers to see the big picture of the Bible by unpacking nine key themes that unite the Testaments and hold the Bible together: creation, covenant, the exodus, law and wisdom, sacrifice, kingship, the prophetic hope, the kingdom of God, and the final holy city. A Basic Guide to Biblical Theology helps readers read the Old Testament in light of the New Testament and the New Testament in light of the Old Testament.
This book provides an introductory framework for the big themes of biblical theology, preparing readers for a lifetime of Bible study. It will appeal to anyone who wants to understand how the Bible fits together, including students, pastors, church leaders, and laypeople.

“Whenever a person hears someone do biblical theology—connecting the storyline of the Bible through its various parts according to themes written by the divine author—there’s usually a deep resonance that generates a desire to be able to see these connections. Alan Thompson’s A Basic Guide to Biblical Theology works through nine of the most important themes that span the Bible and presents them in a way that not only grounds the reader in these foundational themes but also trains the Bible student in how to search out additional themes with biblical integrity, leading to joyful discovery.”
Nancy Guthrie, Bible teacher and author of Even Better than Eden: Nine Ways the Bible’s Story Changes Everything About Your Story
“Alan Thompson sets out to help the Bible reader understand how progressive revelation and the overall unity of the Bible provide the necessary reference points for the correct understanding of the scriptural message. His selection of major themes that are essential aspects of the progression of the message about Christ’s saving work aptly enables us to appreciate both the unity and the diversity of Scripture. This book is a valuable addition to a growing body of literature that introduces both the technically trained theologian and the layperson to the discipline of biblical theology. To magnify the Christ-centeredness of the Bible is a worthy aim, which is the emphasis of this book.”
Graeme Goldsworthy, former lecturer in biblical theology and hermeneutics, Moore Theological College, Sydney, Australia
