The Faith of Israel
A theological survey of the Old Testament
Description
William Dumbrell's comprehensive survey traces the theological movement of each book of the Old Testament through the Hebrew canonical sequence of Law, Prophets and Writings. He not only brings to themes within each book, but also makes original and refreshing connections to themes in other Old Testament books, and discusses the theology of the Old Testament canon as a whole. Dumbrell shows how the Old Testament is not just about ancient Israel, it is about God - his character, nature and work in history.
The Faith of Israel offers a helpful complement to more traditional surveys. It is unified by the underlying theology that 'God will not withdraw his commitment to the world, a commitment given at creation and then affirmed through the call of Israel'. This second edition is a thorough revision incorporating substantial new material.

Other information
Dumbrell packs an enormous amount of theological acumen into the survey, paying constant attention to the great overall theological themes of Scripture, the individual theological details that give each passage and book their special value, and the historical-literary data. This is the very best sort of Old Testament survey - one that not only teaches the facts about the Bible but also shows the purpose and meaning of what you are reading.'- Douglas Stuart, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary
