What is Old Testament Theology and the Rest of God about?
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. In this fascinating study, Haydock considers the importance and place of rest in the ancient Mesopotamian worldview, arguing that Israel's theology of rest played an important part in their message to the nations. This message of a sovereign and gracious God offering his rest to all peoples contrasts sharply with the nations' false perception of how "rest" was to be experienced and enjoyed.**About the AuthorNicholas J. Haydock has served both in the UK and overseas in Europe with the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students. He is also the author of The Theology of the Levitical Priesthood (Wipf and Stock), which similarly explored the missional concern of the Old Testament.ISBN : 9781498229975
