Knowing God the Father through the Old Testament

In Knowing God the Father Through the Old Testament, Christopher J. H. Wright explores the images that pervade the biblical narratives, psalms, and prophetic texts of the Old Testament. God is acknowledged as tender yet terrifying, challenging to the nations yet intimately personal, offering loving care, provision, discipline, and forgiveness. This is the God Jesus knew—and whom we can know—as Father. Such knowledge of God is far from doctrinal; rather, it governs our worldview, personal and social ethics, and expectations of the future.
