From the foreward of this 307 page book: "Juan Luis Segundo calls his present work 'posthumous' - both because the sensitivity of the topic puts any future works in jeopardy, and because it provides the logical key to all his previous theological work.

Segundo, an important Latin American Roman Catholic theologian, provides a groundbreaking study of dogma in the Old Testament through the ages. The study is thorough, carefully nuanced, and courageous: it will be controversial because Segundo addresses central issues about the process of revelation and its content.
