In this comprehensive overview, Barr assesses the possibility, problems, and prospects of the theological disciplines---from an Old Testament perspective. He critiques major contributions (such as those of Gese, Childs, Brown, and Brueggemann) and analyzes issues involving the relationship of the testaments; the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha; and the Christianizing of the Hebrew Scriptures. Provocative and thorough. 715 pages, hardcover from Fortress.
