Christian theology for the 21st century
Israel
3 books reflecting on the earliest accounts of God's revelation in the history of Israel, from the coming of
the Israelite tribes into
the land of Canaan until the
dissolution of their nation in the Assyrian empire
God revealed in the story of the Israelite tribes in Canaan. The bond between Yahweh (God) and the tribes. The kingdom of Israel and its triumph under David and Solomon. God is personal. Faith and love as personal dimensions of the community and the nation in their relationship with God.
God is real, a reality that confounds all illusions, even the best. Strong rulers and prophets both have to
learn the reality of God. God's care for God's people:
God's revelation is in the value God gives to them.
Set in the northern kingdom of Israel from the time of Jeroboam to Jehu's revolt. The prophets Elijah and Elisha and the rule of Ahab and Jezebel.
Justice at the Gate
The lesson of justice and integrity in the prophets Amos, Micah, Isaiah and Hosea. The reality and integrity of God seeking reality and integrity in God's people. The end of Israel.
