Beskrivning
Using a thorough, integrated biblical theology to make sense of the ‘master story‘ of Scripture, Allan J. McNicol explores the nature and importance of the Bible‘s abiding narrative of the persistence of God‘s promises to his people, and their hope of final triumph. Special attention is given to the often contentious claim that these early followers of Jesus presumed that they stood in full continuity with Israel, the historic people of God, and were claiming that many of God’s promises were coming to fulfilment among them. McNicol presents a closer analysis of the texts as he shows how the theme of the people of God fits into the wider literary productions of these major New Testament writers.

Allan McNicol dares the unthinkable. In the maelstrom of postmodern ambivalence about truth and its attendant multicultural naïveté, McNicol asserts that The Book, the Jewish and Christian Bible, unfolds a unified “realistic” narrative of the one God’s calling, sustaining, and consummating a special “people of God” through God‘s irrevocable “promises”. McNicol constructs his meta-narrative through the dynamic of the unimpeachable “character” of God, that has too often not been assigned its decisive role as the central plot motivator that coalesces, coordinates, and finally crafts the unity of the Bible precisely through its great diversity of traditions and cultural influences. A must read for any who desire to make the Judaeo-Christian claims of the Bible a vital contender for a hearing amidst the cacophony of “truth-claims” in today’s “public square”.
