"Return to me, says the LORD of hosts, and I will return to you,"
(Zech 1:3 ESV). Repentance concerns the repair of a relationship
with God disrupted by human sin. All the major phases of church
history have seen diversity and controversy over the doctrine. The
first of Luther's famous ninety-five theses nailed to the church
door in Wittenburg in 1517 stated that 'the entire life of
believers should be one of repentance'. In recent times, two
divisive debates within evangelicalism over 'lordship salvation"
and "hypergrace" have had repentance at their core. The theme of
repentance is evident in almost every Old and New Testament corpus.
However, it has received little sustained attention over the past
half-century of scholarship, which has been largely restricted to
word studies or focused on a particular text or genre. Studies of
the overall theology of the Bible have typically given the theme
only passing mention. In response, Mark Boda offers a comprehensive
overview of the theological witness of Scripture to the theme of
repentance in this New Studies in Biblical Theology volume. The key
to understanding is not simply to be found in word studies, but
also in the broader meaning of texts as these communicate through a
variety of words, images and stories. The importance of repentance
in redemptive history is emphasized. It is fundamentally a return
to intimate fellowship with the triune God, our Creator and
redeemer. This relational return arises from the human heart and
impacts attitudes, words and actions. Addressing key issues in
biblical theology, the works comprising New Studies in Biblical
Theology are creative attempts to help Christians better understand
their Bibles. The NSBT series is edited by D. A. Carson, aiming to
simultaneously instruct and to edify, to interact with current
scholarship and to point the way ahead.
