Description
This detailed and scholarly study of the theology of the Old Testament arranges its themes under the classic headings: God, Man, Salvation. // In part one, 'God', K^hler discusses the existence, nature, and designations of God, the scope of God's works, and explains the Old Testament teaching on Divine Revelation. // Part two, 'Man', outlines of Old Testament concepts of the origin of nature and life of man, discussing the world of man, community, good and evil, sin, Satan, and 'the cult'. // Part three, 'Salvation', covers law, disobedience, expiation, forgiveness, and salvation by judgement and redemption. // Old Testament Theology is divided into 57 sections of convenient length. The student is guided quickly to the information he seeks through an analytical table of contents and comprehensive indexes; notes clarify specific points, directing the reader to other literature. In addition, the volume offers a veritable Old Testament theological wordbook, explaining key Hebrew terms of theological importance throughout the book. This title stands among the most significant works on the Old Testament.
