God Who Acts (Study in Bible Theology)

Founder and editor of "The Biblical Archaeologist", and Professor of Old Testament History and Theology at Harvard University, author G. Ernest Wright states in his preface to this monograph that its purpose is "to describe the special and characteristic nature of the Biblical presentation of faith and to defend the use of the word 'theology' for it." Dr. Wright argues that systematic theologians have attempted to organize the Bible by means of the rubrics of propositional theology which, Wright contends, is more Hellenic then Hebraic, and the heart of Biblical faith somehow eludes it. He asserts that the Bible represents a theology of recital or proclamation -- far from solely being the Word of God, it is a recital of the Acts of God, and is a defensible entity of its own kind. Scholarly and well argued.
