The publisher, Stephen J. Hrycyniak , January 5, 2000 Examines the Evolving View of God through the Scriptures! Perry considers how God was experienced in the Old and New Testaments. In the context of the Ancient Near East, this important new work chronicles Israel's development to monotheism, as well as the apostles' evolving understanding of Jesus as the fulfillment of Hebrew prophecy. 'Exploring the Evolving View of God' outlines the cultural and historical limitations that continue to shape our language and ideas about God. It relates abstract thinking about God to the concrete history of ancient Israel and draws parallels between Israel's history and the New Testament confession of Jesus as Messiah. With Scripture passages, discussion questions and written in an accessible style, 'Exploring the Evolving View of God' is a suitable companion for individual or group study. John Michael Perry received his Ph.D. in Religious Studies from Marquette University in 1972. He presently teaches contemporary biblical criticism at Cardinal Stritch University in Milwaukee, WI. He also enjoys conducting Scripture classes for parishes in the Milwaukee area.
