Описание: Warren Carter addresses how New Testament writings construct their presentation of God using narrative and thematic approaches. Chapters will discuss Matthews Gospel, Luke-Acts, Johns Gospel (and letters), Paul, post-Pauline letters, Hebrews, and Revelation. In addition there will be a chapter on the Catholic Epistles.
The author uses four questions to show how God is presented:
How is God presented in relation to Israel?
How is God presented in relation to Jesus and the Spirit?
How is God presented in relation to believers/disciples/the church?
How is God presented in relation to the world (both material creation and humanity)?
The approach is not to impose these questions, grid-like, on the material but to use them to surface the important factors of each writings emphases.
