Synopsis
Explore how Israel’s faith shifted from ritual coverage to personal devotion and heart‑centered religion, as this guide surveys the long arc of Old Testament theology.
This scholarly, accessible volume maps the growth of ideas about God, the world, and worship. It traces how prophets, exile, and later writings changed the way people understand law, temple practice, and righteousness. You’ll see how concepts like holiness, divine kingship, and the future hope developed across different books and periods, from the Priestly Code to the prophetic and post‑exilic material. The book also discusses how to study the Bible itself—names, attributes, and key doctrines—without losing sight of the historical and literary contexts.
- How ancient ideas about holiness and ritual evolved into moral and personal faith.
- Connections between prophets, exile, and the shaping of Judaism and early Christian thought.
- Guidance on tracing divine names, attributes, and key doctrines through multiple documents.
- How scholarly methods illuminate the history of the religion while staying grounded in the text.
