The divine warrior is an important motif in the Old Testament,
leading many to study profitably the motif in its most prominent
manifestations in poetic texts. This study builds on that
foundation by examining the divine warrior in detail in the exodus
narrative to construct a broader picture of the motif in the Old
Testament.
The discipline of Old Testament theology seeks to provide us with a
picture of YHWH and his relationship to the world as described in
the Old Testament. But within this discipline, there are many
disagreements about the key issues and methodologies: Is the Old
Testament unified in some way? Should the context of the theologian
play a role in interpretation? Should Old Testament theology merely
describe what ancient Israel believed, or should it offer guidance
for the church today? What is the relationship between history and
theology? All these considerations and more result in so many
different kinds of Old Testament theologies (and so many
publications), that it's difficult for students, pastors, and laity
to productively study this already complex field. In Understanding
Old Testament Theology, professors Brittany Kim and Charlie Trimm
provide an overview of the contemporary approaches to Old Testament
theology. In three main sections, they explore various approaches:
Part I examines approaches that ground Old Testament theology in
history. Part II surveys approaches that foreground Old Testament
theme(s). Part III considers approaches that highlight different
contexts for doing Old Testament theology. Each main chapter
describes both common features of the approach and points of
tension and then offers a test case illuminating how it has been
applied to the book of Exodus. Through reading this book, you'll
hopefully come to see the Old Testament in a fresh light-as
something that's alive and active, continually drawing us into
deeper encounters with the living God.
