The Old Testament and Theology di G Ernest Wright
The author's stated purpose of this book is to present the consequences for theology in taking the Old Testament seriously. He argues that contemporary Protestant theology is too ""Christocentric""; God is so completely equated with the ""Christ-event"" that little more can be said about him. Even in Barth, Brunner, and Bultmann, for examples, there is a tendency toward ""Christomonism"" -- a ""Unitarianism of the Second Person"" for the Trinity. Against this situation, Professor Wright examines basic concepts of God to be found in the Old Testament: God as Creator, as Lord, as Warrior. The third category is the inevitable expression of the second. If God is Lord, he must wage war to protect and extend his sovereignty. The author follows these subjects with a discussion of the problems of symbolic language and the Old Testament canon.… (altro)
This book is No. 8 in a series of monographs designed to provide clergy and laity the best works in Biblical scholarship both in this country and abroad. The volumes in series are planned to further the study of Biblical theology within the Church. Based on historical and literary research, the primary aim of the series is to set out more clearly the nature of Biblical faith as a living phenomenon of vital significance for the contemporary Christian.
