Each of the three sections in this volume--designed to ease entry into the field--is introduced by one of the editors in a survey essay that provides the necessary background for theological students.    The first section of this textbook contains, for the first time in English, two influential essays by Otto Eissfeldt and Walther Eichrodt. The second, main section provides two selections from the works of fourteen major Old Testament theologians of the twentieth century. The first excerpt details the theologian's methodology of doing Old Testament theology; the second provides an example of interpretation based upon this methodology. In addition to these excerpts (usually around twenty pages), the editors provide a short introduction and pertinent bibliography for each of the following theologians: Brevard S. Childs, Ronald E. Clements, Walther Eichrodt, Paul D. Hanson, Edmond Jacob, Walter C. Kaiser Jr., John L. McKenzie, Elmer A. Martens, Gerhard von Rad, Samuel Lucien Terrien, Theodorus C. Vriezen, Claus Westermann, George Ernest Wright, Walther Zimmerli.    The third and final section contains excerpts from five contemporary theologians: Walter Brueggemann, Hartmut Gese, Rolf Knierim, Jon D. Levenson, Phyllis Trible.     An appendix contains Johann P. Gabler's 1787 seminal essay on biblical theology. An extensive bibliography and indexes of topics, authorities, and Scripture references conclude the volume.\"","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49525532721425,"sku":"CIN0931464625G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49557489713425,"sku":"GOR011208109","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0931464625.jpg?v=1750748012"},{"product_id":"god-the-creator-the-old-testament-and-the-world-god-is-making-book-ben-c-ollenburger-9780801048661","title":"God the Creator - The Old Testament and the World God Is Making","description":"Christians today are focused on two important creation topics: how the world came to be and how we should care for it. A highly respected Old Testament theologian recommends that before discussing these questions, we focus on God the Creator and God's ongoing work in creation. We should explore what the Bible tells us and let the text set the agenda for our reflections.  Combining his storytelling gift with rigorous biblical exegesis and deep reflection, Ben Ollenburger describes the action of God the Creator as presented throughout the Old Testament. He shows how creation is about more than origins. It is about God acting against the hostile forces of chaos that can be historical, political, and military. About how God created a well-ordered world, and how human transgression ruptures God's relationship with humans and threatens creation. About how God responds as Creator to those threats by disturbing and reordering the disorder, bringing about what God intended--a world ordered in the social, political, and natural realms that is characterized by the justice, righteousness, and peace required for human flourishing.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49745000136977,"sku":"NGR9780801048661","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50132710883601,"sku":"CIN0801048664VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51007409848593,"sku":"NIN9780801048661","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0801048664.jpg?v=1751170170"},{"product_id":"old-testament-theology-book-ben-c-ollenburger-9781575060965","title":"Old Testament Theology","description":"In this extensively revised and updated edition of The Flowering of Old Testament Theology, Professor Ollenburger provides help for beginning theological students, who are frequently overwhelmed by the proliferation of volumes dealing with Old Testament theology, to say nothing of the variety of approaches used in these works.
