In Portraits of a Mature God, Mark McEntire traced the narrative
development of the divine character in the Old Testament, placing
the God portrayed at the end of that long story at the center of
theological discussion. He showed that Israel's understanding of
God had developed into a complex, multipurpose being who could work
within a new reality, a world that included a semiautonomous
province of Yehud and a burgeoning Mesopotamian-Mediterranean world
in which the Jewish people lived and moved in a growing diversity
of ways. Now, McEntire continues that story beyond the narrative
end of the Hebrew Bible as Israel and Israel's God moved into the
Hellenistic world. The "narrative" McEntire perceives in the
apocryphal literature describes a God protecting and guiding the
scattered and persecuted, a God responding to suffering in revolt,
and a God disclosing mysteries, yet also hidden in the symbolism of
dreams and visions. McEntire here provides a coherent and
compelling account of theological perspectives in the apocryphal
writings and beyond.
