Old Testament Theology and the Rest of God (Paperback) by Nicholas J Haydock

9781498229968. New condition. Trade paperback. Language: English. Pages: 106. Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. 106 p. Rest is a largely neglected theme escaping Old Testament studies, yet is notably prominent in the text itself, arising at many of the key moments of the Old Testament--the creation, the flood, the conquest and exile of the land, the covenant with David, and the construction of the temple. Haydock explores the ways in which God's rest interacts with the direction of the narrative, noting also its role in shaping both Israel's worship and their messianic expectation.
