Return to me, says the LORD of hosts, and I will return to you ...'
(Zech. 1:3 ESV). Repentance concerns the repair of a relationship
with God disrupted by human sin. All the major phases of church
history have seen diversity and controversy over the doctrine. The
first of Luther's famous ninety-five theses nailed to the church
door in Wittenburg in 1517 stated that 'the entire life of
believers should be one of repentance'. In recent times, two
divisive debates within evangelicalism - over 'lordship salvation'
and 'hypergrace' - have had repentance at their core. The theme of
repentance is evident in almost every Old and New Testament corpus.
However, it has received little sustained attention over the past
half-century of scholarship, which has been largely restricted to
word studies or focused on a particular text or genre. Studies of
the overall theology of the Bible have typically given the theme
only passing mention. In response, Mark Boda offers a comprehensive
overview of the theological witness of Scripture to the theme of
repentance. The key to understanding is not simply to be found in
word studies, but also in the broader meaning of texts as these
communicate through a variety of words, images and stories. The
importance of repentance in redemptive history is emphasized. It is
fundamentally a return to intimate fellowship with the triune God,
our Creator and Redeemer. This relational return arises from the
human heart and impacts attitudes, words and actions.
