Essays on Biblical Theology

These essays by Hartmut Gese, one of the most important new voices in European theology, have been highly acclaimed in the original German edition. Following his introductory chapter, "The Biblical View of Scripture," Gese includes essays on six basic questions of biblical Death in the Old Testament, The Law, The Atonement, The Origin of the Lord's Supper, The Messiah, and the Prologue to John's Gospel. The final chapter leads beyond biblical theology into hermeneutics with the urgent "Question of a World View."
