Old Testament Theology: An Introduction

Brueggemann portrays the key components in Israel's encounter with God as recorded in the Hebrew Bible. Creation, election, Torah, and the divine hand in history--these and other theological high points appear both in their original historical context, and their ongoing relevance for contemporary Jewish and Christian understanding. Walter Brueggemann is William Marcellus McPheeters Professor of Old Testament Emeritus at Columbia Theological Seminary, Decatur, Georgia. He is the author of numerous works including Theology of the Old Testament, Inscribing the Text, Prophetic Imagination, and David's Truth.
