"Here are two masters of the biblical text who offer a fresh, thick probing of the character of God in the Bible. Their daring capacity to move between the Testaments overcomes the 'radical monotheism of the Second Person' in the New Testament. God of the Living is a major contribution to the on-going work of theological interpretation." --Walter Brueggemann, Professor Emeritus of Old Testament, Columbia Theological Seminary, "One of the most intellectually invigorating works of biblical scholarship I have read in years. Coherence in presentation of the biblical understanding of God requires a degree of erudition and courage that few scholars but Feldmeier and Spieckermann could muster. "God of the Living" is an indispensable resource and stimulus for study." -- C Clifton Black, Otto A Piper Professor of Biblical Theology, Princeton Theological Seminary, An impressive work...representing the greatest minds in Biblical Theology does more than present God as they leaf through the pages of the Bible but they also take the historical matters contained within the text and bring them to light for the reader., "Feldmeier and Spieckermann have given new life to the venerable but frequently questioned discipline of biblical theology. Their work shines with the spirit of collaboration as they navigate the diversity of scripture -- both its tensions and its testimonies -- in a way that is compelling and transformative.

Brown, Professor of Old Testament, Columbia Theological Seminary, The straightforward title of this volume directly communicates what the subject matter is, but it cannot convey its extraordinary character. Feldmeier and Spieckermann, specialists in New and Old Testament respectively, together undertake an exploration of the nature and character of God that ranges across the canon. The result is no mere catalogue of texts and themes but a bold and often beautiful exposition of the God who lives and who brings life into being., "Here are two masters of the biblical text who offer a fresh, thick probing of the character of God in the Bible.

Synopsis
In God of the Living , noted biblical scholars Reinhard Feldmeier and Hermann Spieckermann provide a comprehensive theology of the God of the Christian Bible. A remarkable achievement, God of the Living joins together the very best of Old and New Testament scholarship to craft a comprehensive biblical theology. Feldmeier and Spieckermann wrestle with the whole of scripture to give a definitive and decisive voice to the church's central mission--bearing witness to the living God. Both historical and systematic, God of the Living explores God's multifaceted, complex, and sometimes contradictory character presented in the scriptures. Yet, whether in wrath or reconciliation, judgment or justification, suffering or salvation, God has given and shares divine life in the person of Jesus Christ. Thus, Feldmeier and Spieckermann uncover God's profound affirmation of human life, as the God of the living--the God of the Bible--finds fulfillment in relation to the living partners of his own creation. --Beverly Roberts Gaventa "The Christian Century", In God of the Living , noted biblical scholars Reinhard Feldmeier and Hermann Spieckermann provide a comprehensive theology of the God of the Christian Bible.
