Theology of the Old Testament

The Theology of the Old Testament explores the beliefs, practices, and understanding of God presented in the Hebrew Scriptures. It emphasizes themes such as the covenant relationship between God and Israel, divine justice and mercy, the role of prophets, and the importance of law and worship. Central to this theology is the idea of a singular, sovereign God who acts in history, guiding and redeeming His people. Key narratives, such as creation, exodus, and the promises to Abraham, illustrate these themes, showing how they shape the religious identity and ethical values of Judaism and, later, Christianity.
