Toward this end, he proposes a post-critical paradigm shift that recenters study around God. The intent is to do for Old Testament studies what N. T. Wright's Christian Origins and the Question of God series has done for New Testament studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBartholomew proposes a much-needed holistic, narrative approach, showing how the Old Testament functions as Christian Scripture. In so doing, he integrates historical, literary, and theological methods as well as a critical realist framework. Following a rigorous analysis of how we should read the Old Testament, he goes on to examine and explain the various tools available to the interpreter. He then applies worldview analysis to both Israel and the surrounding nations of the ancient Near East. The volume concludes with a fresh exegetical exploration of YHWH, the living and active God of the Old Testament. Subsequent volumes will include \u003ci\u003eMoses and the Victory of Yahweh\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Old Testament and the People of God\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Death and Return of the Son\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Essential reading for all scholars and serious students alike\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Old Testament and God\u003c\/i\u003e, Craig Bartholomew examines what we should do with the Old Testament, argues for a critical realist approach, situates the Old Testament against the worldviews of the ancient Near East, and explores Yahweh as he comes to us in the Old Testament. This volume is the first in a four-volume project that explores the question of God and what happens to Old Testament studies if we take God and his action in the world seriously.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Within the sometimes-bewildering world of Old Testament scholarship, with its modern and postmodern presuppositions, Bartholomew charts a new way forward, one that takes fully seriously the historical, literary, and theological dimensions of the Old Testament--and above all takes the God of the Old Testament fully seriously as one who acts and reveals. For anyone who finds the Old Testament irrepressibly fascinating, this will be an exciting, learned, and coherently argued book.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eRichard Bauckham\u003c\/b\u003e, University of St. Andrews (emeritus)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Bartholomew brings his wide knowledge and insight to the question of God in the Old Testament. This book, the first of four, is a big book in the best sense of the term. He considers the most important questions and utilizes the best approaches to our study of the Old Testament. In my opinion, Bartholomew sets the study of God in the Old Testament on its proper foundation, which makes this essential reading for all scholars and serious students alike.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eTremper Longman III\u003c\/b\u003e, Westmont College (emeritus)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Only Bartholomew could have written this book! The range of interlocutors is vast; Old Testament scholars mingle with philosophers, literary critics, and historians of the ancient Near East, and Bartholomew's immensely creative and constructive mind orchestrates a powerful symphony by means of a running commentary on the scholarship. At the heart of the matter is the possibility--indeed the firm conviction--that the living God has revealed himself to Israel. This book should fund a new and multifaceted conversation grounded in the question of God.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eMatthew Levering\u003c\/b\u003e, Mundelein Seminary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Many of us were apprenticed into the guild of Old Testament scholarship under the paradigm of alleged academic 'objectivity' in which 'God' could not be the subject of a sentence that presumed his living reality and power, other than as a fictive character in the narrative. Bartholomew challenges that paradigm in a way that enables an encounter with the living Scriptures to be an authentic encounter with the voice of the living God.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eChristopher J.
