Summary
Metaphysics and the God of Israel seeks to put back on the theological agenda not merely a biblical theology but a systematic theology of the Old and New Testaments. Author Neil B. MacDonald argues against current trends in the academy that question a unified biblical theology of the entire Bible. In doing so he covers the theological and philosophical gamut, from Aristotle, Anselm, and Augustine to Nicholas Wolterstoff, N.T. Wright, and Christopher Seitz. - Publisher.
