First published in 1966 in only a small edition, and long unavailable, this collection of Professor von Rad's most influential articles has become something of a collector's item. In addition to the study which provides its title other works in it include 'The Theological Problem of the Old Testament Doctrine of Creation', 'Some Aspects of the Old Testament World View', The Beginnings of History Writing in Ancient Israel and The Joseph Narrative and Ancient Wisdom'.
Gerhard von Rad was Professor of Old Testament at the University of Heidelberg in Germany until his death in 1971. He is the author of several books, including Wisdom in Israel and Holy War in Ancient Israel.
