- Summary
- "In this volume Manfred Gorg offers us a new and challenging exploration of the "Old Testament." He shows us that the fundamental document of Jewish faith has an enduring, unique, and binding character for Christians, for the central theological data of the "Old Testament," such as God's covenant with a people, messianic expectations, and hope for the time of salvation at the end of the ages are not "canceled" or abolished in the "New Testament," nor are they yet completely fulfilled.
- He shows convincingly that Christian faith has its roots in the "Old Testament" and the "Christianity without the New Testament" is indeed possible."--BOOK JACKET.
