The Torah's Vision of Worship (Overtures to Biblical Theology)

About this book

A complement to the authors earlier Overtures to Biblical Theology study on prayer this volume addresses the topic of worship as articulated in the first five books of the Bible. Rather than a history of Israelite religion Balentines volume examines the "vision" of worship expounded in the Torah in relation to priesthood creation liturgy and covenant. He concludes by discussing the contemporary situation of experiencing Gods hiddenness and a world caught in despair. Balentine proposes that a fresh look at the Torah offers possibilities of counter-imagination and hope.
