Exploring the Old Testament in Asia: Evangelical Perspectives (Foundations in Asian Christian Thought)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Exploring the Old Testament in Asia is the first evangelical Old Testament textbook written both from and for an Asian cultural context. Rooted in the theological conviction that God still speaks through the Old Testament in all its fullness, the twelve essays in this book address key theological issues pertinent to the diverse cultures and contexts of Asia. Touching on topics from polytheism and kinship bonds to Scripture translation and the biblical conception of wisdom, the writers position themselves in conversation with Asia’s rich spiritual, cultural, and literary heritage. The result is a theological contribution that is both contextually relevant and biblically faithful.

This is the volume for which I have been looking for a very long time. It contains the finest collection of evangelical studies in First Testament theology by Asians for Asians that I have encountered.

Amidst widespread approaches to the Bible from the perspectives of the margin in Asia, it is refreshing to read an exploration of the Old Testament by Asian evangelical scholars.
