Der Gott der Lebendigen

Eine biblische Gotteslehre

[The God of the Living. A Biblical Doctrine of God.]

Published in German.

The Bible bears witness to the Creator as one who does not want to be by himself without his creatures and thus in sympathy and self-sacrifice liberates them from a fatal blindness and entanglement in guilt so that they may live in a community with their neighbors. Focusing on the history of religion, Reinhard Feldmeier and Hermann Spieckermann explore the Old and New Testaments in order to ascertain which basic knowledge is imparted about God as "the One who loves us." The dialogue between Old and New Testament experts results in a biblical theology which traces the theological topoi in their historical development and at the same time puts them in the order of their factually based importance as well as their logical context.
