The
discipline of Old Testament theology continues to be in flux as diverse
approaches vie for dominance. Paul House serves as our guide—without
being partisan or uninformed—exploring each Old Testament book,
summarizing its content and showing its theological significance within
the whole of the Old Testament canon. Readers with little prior
background will find House’s thematic surveys particularly helpful for
coming to grips with basic biblical content as well as for probing the
theological nuances of individual parts of the canon. The book concludes
by forging a set of summary statements concerning God and his
character, the people of God, and links between the Old and New
Testaments that suggest avenues for the exploration of a full biblical
theology. Old Testament Theology
offers an overview of the discipline and a fair treatment of differing
views while remaining unabashedly evangelical. Readers will welcome the
obvious passion of its author for the subject matter. Student friendly
and useful to a wide audience, this impressive work has proved a
profitable read for many.
