Publisher's Description
Tryggve Mettinger's much-praised work analyzes the major names for God in the Old Testament to trace, through the many confrontations and challenges of individuals and groups that mark Israel's story, the historical development of Israel's conception of God.

“Mettinger has provided a rich resource for academicians and pastors alike. His historical and philogical analysis is illuminating and provocative, while his emphasis on the dynamic and situational aspects of the Old Testament's understanding of God opens the way to continuing search in response to contemporary challenges of existence.”
“This is a powerful, useful, and memorable book that will be useful to every student of the Bible who looks through it to the picture of God to be gained from it.”
“Mettinger's work is a powerful and significant study....Its appearance is a sign of good hope for the future.”
