Highly respected scholar Mark Boda shows how three creedal expressions--the narrative, character, and relational creeds--recur throughout the Old Testament and express its core redemptive theology, in turn revealing how the redemptive pulse of God expands to all of creation. He also traces these redemptive and creational pulses into the New Testament and shows their relevance for today's Christian community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Heartbeat of Old Testament Theology\u003c\/i\u003e is part of the \u003cb\u003eAcadia Studies in Bible and Theology \u003c\/b\u003eseries.

Boda explores what he labels the narrative, character, and relational creeds of Israel and then connects them to the redemptive purposes for all of creation. His carefully articulated method establishes the Old Testament's own voice before demonstrating its rich and complex ties to the New. Informed, creative, and robust, \u003ci\u003eThe Heartbeat of Old Testament Theology\u003c\/i\u003e is an important contribution!\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eM. Daniel Carroll R. (Rodas)\u003c\/b\u003e, Wheaton College and Graduate School \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Boda, who has penned a number of important biblical-theological studies, here demonstrates his considerable control of the biblical texts in pursuit of what he calls the heartbeat of Old Testament theology. The result is a useful presentation of three creedal rhythms: narrative, character, and relational. Not content to restrict the discussion to the Old Testament, Boda also relates these rhythms to the New Testament and to Christian life more broadly. A sermon and a lengthy appendix round out the volume and show his ideas at work and in action.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eBrent A. Strawn\u003c\/b\u003e, Emory University \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Boda has written a contemporary Old Testament theology worth reading--learned, reflective, insightful, and relevant. His emphasis on the creedal affirmations that constitute the 'pulse' for theological formulation links back to the fountain of Gerhard von Rad but carries that proposal forward for today. Students and ministers alike will benefit from this work, and it is one I warmly commend.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eHeath A.
