Is the Old Testament man-centred? Is it merely a collection of
myths that evolved out of man's search for God? Or is the Old
Testament a record of God's Revelation to man in history? Is the
Old Testament a part of the word of God? In the four lectures
presented in this book, Dr Young explores the history, nature,
content and influence of Old Testament theology. Dr. Young takes
bold issue with modern scholars of the Old Testament, who have
dissected its words, but ignored their meaning. In his discussion
of Old Testament theology and history, he admits that archaeology
has, in general, supported the position of those who have regarded
Old Testament history as untrustworthy. However, his clear
arguments support the premise that the Old Testament is grounded
upon that which God Himself did in history. The author examines the
nature of Old Testament theology, and compares Old Testament
literature with references in The Iliad and The Odyssey and in the
religious literature of Egypt and Babylonia. He traces the
development of the oral tradition, which can be recognised in Old
Testament literature, and the cultural influence which affected the
scribes. However, whilst he argues that these influences should be
noted, he believes that they are of secondary importance to the
words themselves. Finally, Dr, Young concludes by analysing the
meaning of the Covenant, and the content and influence of Old
Testament theology. He examines the prophecies which prepare for
the coming of the Messiah, and considers the manner in which the
Old Testament paves the way for the New. This discussion of Old
Testament theology is of supreme importance to ministers and
students, and to all who love the Bible.
