This detailed and scholarly study of the theology of the Old Testament arranges its themes under classic headings: God, Man, Salvation. In part one, 'God', Koehler discusses the existence, nature, and designations of God, the scope of God's works, and explains the Old Testament teaching on Divine Revelation. Part two, 'Man', outlines of Old Testament concepts of the origin of nature and life of man, discussing the world of man, community, good and evil, sin, Satan, and 'the cult'. Part three, 'Salvation', covers law, disobedience, expiation, forgiveness, and salvation by judgement and redemption. Old Testament Theology is divided into 57 sections of convenient length. The student is guided quickly to the information he seeks through an analytical table of contents and comprehensive indexes; notes clarify specific points, directing the reader to other literature. In addition, the volume offers a veritable Old Testament theological wordbook, explaining key Hebrew terms of theological importance throughout the book. This book stands among the most significant works on the Old Testament.

The original appearance of this book was enthusiastically greeted by Sir Godfrey Driver: 'The interest of this little book is out of all proportion to its size; for Dr Kohler has compressed an immense amount of information into a small space. He describes the life of an ordinary Hebrew man from the physical, psychological and intellectual points of view: his body in health and ill-health, expectation of life, upbringing, manhood and health, his attitude to the vicissitudes of life and the spiritual influences forming its background and working on him.' The English translation first published in 1956 has been out of print for some while, but the passage of time has not invalidated the main emphasis of the work, and this reissue is undertaken in the belief that the book still provides an excellent entry into a world familiar from the long tradition of reading the Old Testament in synagogue and church, but in reality strange and different from contemporary life.
