Though "biblical theology" has long been considered a strictly
Christian enterprise, Marvin A. Sweeney here proposes a Jewish
theology of the Hebrew Bible, based on the importance of Tanak as
the foundation of Judaism and organized around the major
components: Torah, Nevi'im (Prophets), and Kethuvim (Writings).
Sweeney finds the structuring themes of Jewish life: the
constitution of the nation Israel in relation to God; the
disruption of that ideal, documented by the Prophets; and the
reconstitution of the nation around the Second Temple in the
Writings. Throughout he is attentive to tensions within and among
the texts and the dialogical character of Israel's sacred heritage.
