Meadors' book is an exercise in biblical theology. Beginning in the Hebrew Bible the hardened heart finds rescue in the "new covenant" promises that Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Hosea prophesy.
Meadors' book is an exercise in biblical theology. In these prohecies God promises to remove Israel's idols, cleanse the people, anoint them with God's spirit, write God's law upon their hearts, and turn the people's hearts of stone into hearts of flesh. The New Testament tells how Jesus of Nazareth activates these promises and brings them into effect in the lives of those who respond to him in faith

This may even involve hardening our hearts for a season so that having eyes we do not see and having ears we do not hear. Meadors, Edward P. New York, NY: T&T Clark, 2006
This may even involve hardening our hearts for a season so that having eyes we do not see and having ears we do not hear. And this isn’t simply an individual matter. Even the righteous live in a world subject to frustration and decay - sickness, violence, and injustice - so that in due course all the idols of humankind will fail to save us. We sin because we trust something - anything - other than God to give us life. New York, NY: T&T Clark, 2006. Moser, Paul K. The Severity of God: Religion and Philosophy Reconceived.
Transparently, the biblical answer is pervasive, explicit, easy to understand, and interrelated to every major biblical theme.
The basis for Beale’s study of idolatry begins with Scripture that seems odd at first glance . Brief historical background of the book of Romans.
The basis for Beale’s study of idolatry begins with Scripture that seems odd at first glance, but as he develops its meaning throughout the Old and New Testament, his genius starts to show through the choice of Isaiah 6:9-10 (. 6). We learn that listening really has to deal with not perceiving just as looking really has to deal with not understanding in the form of sensory organ malfunctions. book especially that the book of Romans reflects an exceptional theological understanding.

Because scholars have tended to use the term in different ways, biblical theology has been notoriously difficult to define. Although most speak of biblical theology as a particular method or emphasis within biblical studies, some scholars have also used the term in reference to its distinctive content.
The purpose of this book is to provide a biblical, theological answer to Isaiah's question: "Why, O Lord, do you cause us to stray from your ways, and harden our heart from fearing you?" Transparently, the biblical answer is pervasive, explicit, easy to understand, and interrelated to every major biblical theme. The hardening of the heart is quite simply God's disciplinary punishment for the specific sin of idolatry. Meadors' book is an exercise in biblical theology. Beginning in the Hebrew Bible the hardened heart finds rescue in the "new covenant" promises that Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Hosea prophesy. In these prohecies God promises to remove Israel's idols, cleanse the people, anoint them with God's spirit, write God's law upon their hearts, and turn the people's hearts of stone into hearts of flesh. The New Testament tells how Jesus of Nazareth activates these promises and brings them into effect in the lives of those who respond to him in faith. Paul preaches this message as well, and the book of Revelation applies this message to the historical context of the seven churches of Asia Minor, who lived with the agonizing temptation to compromise with the idolatry-laden Roman emperor cult. Meadors examines the biblical rationale for idolatry and the hardening of the heart as it unfolds in specific passages--Lev. 26, Dt. 29, Ps. 115, 135--and examines the phenomenon through the rest of the Hebrew Bible, the Gospels, the letters of Paul, and Revelation.
