"Is there such a thing as an Old Testament theology? Or does the Old Testament simply reflect a number of competing theologies?"" In these lectures, first delivered in 1993, Dennis F. Kinlaw shows that there is indeed a single theology that rings through the pages of the Old Testament. That theology is centered in the unchanging nature of the transcendent Yahweh. Kinlaw does not slight the diversities of the text, but uses those diversities to underline the amazing consistency to be found in the treatment of Yahweh and in the understanding of the world arising from that perspective. "Although it has been seventeen years since these lectures were first given, Kinlaw's penetrating grasp of, and love for, the text and its message makes the content as fresh as tomorrow. Anyone looking for a broad introduction to Old Testament theology will benefit from reading this book, but so will those who desire nothing more than to have their love for Yahweh rekindled."
An Old Testament Theology

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 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.
