excellent July 6, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This re-worked dissertation was done under D.A. Carson at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. In this study, Kostenberger asks the question "how are the missions of Jesus and the disciples related?" (pg 3). He then relates this issue to practical theology vis-a-vis the debate between incarnational ecclesiology and representational ecclesiology. He seeks to argue that the incarnational model diminishes the unique work of Jesus because he is the only life giver (pg 4). Thus, he argues that the missions of Jesus and the disciples should not be unduly equated.
Chapter two is especially helpful as he discusses methodology for doing word studies for biblical theology. This can be applied to any biblical issue.
There are, unfortunately, some un-translated German quotations but most readers will be able to understand his thesis and data. He also interacts heavily with Greek in chapter 2 and in various places throughout the book. The reader must keep in mind that this was a dissertation.
