God of the Living Summary

God of the Living: A Biblical Theology by Reinhard Feldmeier

In God of the Living , noted biblical scholars Reinhard Feldmeier and Hermann Spieckermann provide a comprehensive theology of the God of the Christian Bible. A remarkable achievement, God of the Living joins together the very best of Old and New Testament scholarship to craft a comprehensive biblical theology. Feldmeier and Spieckermann wrestle with the whole of scripture to give a definitive and decisive voice to the church's central missionabearing witness to the living God. Both historical and systematic, God of the Living explores God's multifaceted, complex, and sometimes contradictory character presented in the scriptures. Yet, whether in wrath or reconciliation, judgment or justification, suffering or salvation, God has given and shares divine life in the person of Jesus Christ. Thus, Feldmeier and Spieckermann uncover God's profound affirmation of human life, as the God of the livingathe God of the Bibleafinds fulfillment in relation to the living partners of his own creation.

God of the Living Reviews

God of the Living is a profound volume, worthy of careful study. -- Michael Chan, Luther Seminary -- Word & World
Critically informed, exhaustive in treatment, integrative in conception, this volume makes a rare contribution: a scholarly presentation of images of God in both the OT and the NT. -- Mark W. Hamilton, Abilene Christian University -- Restoration Quarterly
[Feldmeier and Spieckermann] present a co-written volume on God from an Old Testament and a New Testament perspective - much to be applauded in these days of over-specialization. The weighty resulting volume is a strong statement of a largely traditional way of conceptualizing 'biblical theology': the presentation of [a consistent] picture of God across the canon. -- Richard S. Briggs, St John's College -- Modern Believing
An impressive work...representing the greatest minds in Biblical Theology does more than present God as they leaf through the pages of the Bible but they also take the historical matters contained within the text and bring them to light for the reader. -- Don Haflich -- The Reformed Register
The straightforward title of this volume directly communicates what the subject matter is, but it cannot convey its extraordinary character. Feldmeier and Spieckermann, specialists in New and Old Testament respectively, together undertake an exploration of the nature and character of God that ranges across the canon. The result is no mere catalogue of texts and themes but a bold and often beautiful exposition of the God who lives and who brings life into being. -- Beverly Roberts Gaventa -- The Christian Century
