What Kind of God?: Collected Essays of Terence E. Fretheim

Terence E. Fretheim has long been a leading voice in Old Testament theology. In this volume, thirty of his classic studies have been gathered together for the first time under the rubrics God and the World , God and Suffering , God, Wrath, and Divine Violence , God and the Pentateuch , God and the Prophets , and God and the Church’s Book . Here readers can find a compelling answer to the question that has motivated Fretheim’s work for more than forty years-namely, what kind of God is the God of Scripture? The studies are introduced by a critical overview of Fretheim’s career and theology by the editors and a retrospective by Fretheim himself.
