Overview

The Old Testament is more than a religious history of the nation of Israel. It is more than a portrait gallery of heroes of the faith. It is even more than a theological and prophetic backdrop to the New Testament. Beyond these, the Old Testament is an inspired revelation of the very nature, character, and works of God. As renowned Old Testament scholar Bruce Waltke writes in the preface of this book, the Old Testament's every sentence is "fraught with theology, worthy of reflection."

This book is the result of decades of reflection informed by an extensive knowledge of the Hebrew language, the best of critical scholarship, a deep understanding of both the content and spirit of the Old Testament, and a thoroughly evangelical conviction. Taking a narrative, chronological approach to the text, Waltke employs rhetorical criticism to illuminate the theologies of the biblical narrators. Through careful study, he shows that the unifying theme of the Old Testament is the "breaking in of the kingdom of God." This theme helps the reader better understand not only the Old Testament but also the New Testament, the continuity of the entire Bible, and ultimately, God himself.

概述

《舊約神學 - 卷1 / 傳統中文版 / 註釋、典範和主題方法》

舊約不僅僅是以色列民族的宗教歷史，也不僅僅是一幅信仰英雄的畫廊，更不僅僅是新約的神學和預言背景。除此之外，舊約是對神的本性、品格和作為的啟示。著名舊約學者布魯斯·沃爾特克在本書序言中寫道，舊約的每一句話都是"充滿神學，值得反思"。

這本書是作者數十年反思的結果，作者擁有廣泛的希伯來語知識、最優秀的批判學術、對舊約內容和精神的深刻理解，以及完全的福音派信念。沃爾特克採取敘事的、按時間順序的方法來研究文本，運用修辭批評來闡明聖經敘述者的神學。通過仔細研究，他指出舊約的統一主題是"神國的進入"。這一主題幫助讀者更好地理解不僅是舊約，還有新約、整本聖經的連續性，最終還有神自己。
