In Old Testament studies, no aspect has as many demands as theology. Recognizing the greatest crisis in biblical theology, the inability to reaffirm and apply the authority of the Bible, Walter Kaiser offers the solution to unresolved issues concerning the importance of its definition and methodology. A good understanding of biblical theology, explains the author.
In the first part of his book, Dr. Kaiser discusses the inherent difficulty in determining the true nature, method, scope, and motivation for Old Testament theology. In the second, he applies his solution in a clear and methodical way by discussing the Old Testament periods chronologically, from the Pre-patriarchal (Prolegomena to the Promise) to the Post-exilic (Triumph of the Promise).
