God of the Living: A Biblical Theology
"One of the most intellectually invigorating works of biblical scholarship I have read in years. Coherence in presentation of the biblical understanding of God requires a degree of erudition and courage that few scholars but Feldmeier and Spieckermann could muster. God of the Living is an indispensable resource and stimulus for study."--C. Clifton Black, Otto A. Piper Professor of Biblical Theology, Princeton Theological Seminary"Two leading scholars have joined forces to produce a remarkable, original synthesis on the conception of God as it appears in the Christian Bible. Feldmeier and Spieckermann provide much food for thought in this rich and powerful book."--Guy Stroumsa, Martin Buber Professor of Comparative Religion, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem"Feldmeier and Spieckermann have given new life to the venerable but frequently questioned discipline of biblical theology. Their work shines with the spirit of collaboration as they navigate the diversity of scripture--both its tensions and its testimonies--in a way that is compelling and transformative.God of the Livingwill be a standard reference for many years to come."--William P. Brown, Professor of Old Testament, Columbia Theological Seminary"Here are two masters of the biblical text who offer a fresh, thick probing of the character of God in the Bible. Their daring capacity to move between the Testaments overcomes the 'radical monotheism of the Second Person' in the New Testament.God of the Livingis a major contribution to the on-going work of theological interpretation."--Walter Brueggemann, Professor Emeritus of Old Testament, Columbia Theological Seminary
