Exodus and Resurrection: The God of Israel in Theology of Robert W. Jenson (Emerging Scholars)

Exodus and Resurrection establishes the important place Gods identity as the God of Israel has in the systematic theology of Robert W. Jenson. The work demonstrates that the identification of the God of Israel as the agent of Jesus resurrection functions as a foundational premise in Jensons Trinitarian theology. Andrew W. Nicol argues that a central characteristic of Jensons work is not merely his recognition that the same God who rescued Israel from Egypt raised Jesus from the dead or the related yet distinct step of renovating his theology in a nonsupersessionist fashion but also his attempt to conceive of the full implications for doing so in Christian theology in the churchs self-understanding and in the churchs relation to Israel and continuing Judaism. In this Exodus and Resurrection provides a clear and critically appreciative account of Robert W. Jensons work and offers a new vital architectonic map of Jensons systematic vision.
