In God of the Living, noted biblical scholars Reinhard Feldmeier and Hermann Spieckermann provide a comprehensive theology of the God of the Christian Bible. A remarkable achievement, God of the Living joins together the very best of Old and New Testament scholarship to craft a comprehensive biblical theology. Feldmeier and Spieckermann wrestle with the whole of scripture to give a definitive and decisive voice to the church's central mission--bearing witness to the living God.
Both historical and systematic, God of the Living explores God's multifaceted, complex, and sometimes contradictory character presented in the scriptures. Yet, whether in wrath or reconciliation, judgment or justification, suffering or salvation, God has given and shares divine life in the person of Jesus Christ. Thus, Feldmeier and Spieckermann uncover God's profound affirmation of human life, as the God of the living--the God of the Bible--finds fulfillment in relation to the living partners of his own creation.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"One of the most intellectually invigorating works of biblical scholarship I have read in years. Coherence in presentation of the biblical understanding of God requires a degree of erudition and courage that few scholars but Feldmeier and Spieckermann could muster. God of the Living is an indispensable resource and stimulus for study."
--C. Clifton Black, Otto A. Piper Professor of Biblical Theology, Princeton Theological Seminary
"Two leading scholars have joined forces to produce a remarkable, original synthesis on the conception of God as it appears in the Christian Bible. Feldmeier and Spieckermann provide much food for thought in this rich and powerful book."
--Guy Stroumsa, Martin Buber Professor of Comparative Religion, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
"Feldmeier and Spieckermann have given new life to the venerable but frequently questioned discipline of biblical theology. Their work shines with the spirit of collaboration as they navigate the diversity of scripture--both its tensions and its testimonies--in a way that is compelling and transformative. God of the Living will be a standard reference for many years to come."
--William P. Brown, Professor of Old Testament, Columbia Theological Seminary
"Here are two masters of the biblical text who offer a fresh, thick probing of the character of God in the Bible. Their daring capacity to move between the Testaments overcomes the 'radical monotheism of the Second Person' in the New Testament. God of the Living is a major contribution to the on-going work of theological interpretation."
