God’s Design: A Focus on Old Testament Theology
(Kami no Dezain)
Elmer A. Martens
Exodus 5:22 - 6:8 reveals God's design for building his kingdom, a design with four components: 1) Deliverance, 2) Community, 3) Knowledge of God, 4) The Abundant Life. From these components, Martens constructs a grid through which the entire message of the Old Testament can be read. God's design was articulated in the exodus, implemented in the pre-monarchy era, tested in the centuries of the kings, and reaffirmed through Israel's exile and return. This Mennonite Brethren scholar once taught in Japan and he presents an overview of the Old Testament all Bible students will find fascinating. A4 size, 416 pp.
