The Identity of Israel's God in Christian Scripture

by Mark Elliott (Editor), Don Collett (Editor), Mark Gignilliat (Editor)

A broad, sweeping volume that breaches the walls separating biblical and theological disciplines

Biblical scholars and theologians engage an important question: Who is Israel’s God for Christian readers of the Old Testament? For Christians, Scripture is the Old and New Testament bound together in a single legacy. Contributors approach the question from multiple disciplinary vantage points. Essays on both Testaments focus on figural exegesis, critical exegesis, and the value of diachronic understandings of the Old Testament’s compositional history for the sake of a richer synchronic reading. This collection is offered in celebration of the life and work of Christopher R. Seitz. His rich and wide-ranging scholarly efforts have provided scholars and students alike a treasure trove of resources related to this critical question.

Excellent: 5* out of 5. Included were excellent essays / analysis by David Trobisch "The Voice of John
in Canon" (pages 305 - 319ff) and Nathan MacDonald "The God of the Spirits of all Flesh" (pages 101 - 110 ff).
Highly recommended. A festschrift honoring Christopher Seitz.
