The Unrelenting God

<DIV>Is God still as it has been argued the neglected factor in New Testament theology? How does the Bible speak imaginatively and concretely about who God is and what God's activity on behalf of the world looks like?<br><br>In <I>The Unrelenting God</I> sixteen accomplished scholars in the fields of biblical and theological studies explore ways in which Scripture speaks about God's character and God's activity in the world. As honoree Beverly Roberts Gaventa has done throughout her career the contributors address important and nuanced theological themes such as God's dramatic invasion of the world in the gospel of Jesus Christ God's ultimate triumph over the powers of sin and death and humanity's ongoing participation with God in Christ.<br><br>Scholars students and church leaders will appreciate this volume's careful theological interpretation of whole scriptural books and individual passages -- and its ability to model instructively how that interpretation is best done.<br><br><B>Contributors</B>:<br>Shane Berg<br>Martinus C. de Boer<br>Alexandra R.
