Horst Preuss begins a comprehensive, two volume analysis of the theology of the Old Testament with this edition. He focuses on a detailed assessment of Israel’s responses to God’s acts of election and covenant with them as a people. This highly applicable study provides a theological lens through which to properly understand many of the books of the Old Testament and their relation to the whole.

He focuses on a detailed assessment of Israel’s responses to God’s acts of election and covenant with them as a people.
