== Theology ==
Beale believes that all doctrine, and thus, the entire Bible, should be read through the lens of eschatology. Furthermore, the New Testament should be read with a realization that it's central focus is on new creation. This places the life, death and resurrection of Jesus through the Spirit as the inauguration of the new creation and the end times. Therefore, Beale believes that new creation is in mind whenever the resurrection of Jesus is mentioned.
