Tanak: A Theological And Critical Introduction To The Jewish Bible
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
3.5/5
()
About this ebook
“Biblical theology” is no longer a strictly Christian enterprise. Sweeney structures his theology of Tanak around themes of Jewish life: the constitution of the nation Israel in relation to God; the disruption of that ideal (the Prophets); the reconstitution of the nation around the Second Temple (the Writings).
