Summary: In The Heartbeat of Old Testament Theology, a volume from the Acadia Studies in Bible and Theology series, respected scholar Mark Boda reveals the ways in which the redemptive pulse of God expands to all creation through three rhythmical doctrinal expressions--the narrative, character, and relational creeds--that recur throughout the Old Testament and express its core theology. He then traces these redemptive and creational pulses into the New Testament and shows their relevance for today's Christian community.
