The biblical-theological approach Boda takes in this work is
canonical-thematic, tracing the presentation of the theology of sin
and its remedy in the canonical form and shape of the Old
Testament. The hermeneutical foundations for this enterprise have
been laid by others in past decades, especially by Brevard Childs
in his groundbreaking work. But A Severe Mercy also reflects recent
approaches to integrating biblical understanding with other
methodologies in addition to Childs's. Thus, it enters the
imaginative space of the ancient canon of the Old Testament in
order to highlight the "word views" and "literary shapes" of the
"texts taken individually and as a whole collection." For the
literary shape of the individual texts, it places the "word views"
of the dominant expressions and images, as well as various
passages, in the larger context of the biblical books in which they
are found. For the literary shape of the texts as a collection, it
identifies key subthemes and traces their development through the
Old Testament canon. The breadth of Boda's study is both
challenging and courageous, resulting in the first comprehensive
examination of the topic in the 21st century.
