Bøger af Meredith G. Kline

In Treaty of the Great King, Kline gives a detailed analysis and strong evidence for supporting the interpretation of Deuteronomy as being a legal document between Israel and YHWH that was patterned after ancient Near Eastern treaties, with Moses as its primary compiler. These studies were foundational in Kline''s career as a covenant theologian. Meredith G. Kline (1922-2007) was Professor of Old Testament at Westminster Seminary California. He previously taught at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and at Westminster Theological Seminary (Philadelphia), from which he received his BD and ThM degrees. He earned is PhD degree in Assyriology and Egyptology under Cyrus Gordon at Dropsie College. He was also an ordained minister in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. The collection of essays in Creator, Redeemer, Consummator, a festschrift written in honor of Dr. Kline, attests to the indelible influence his work has exerted on contemporary biblical and theological scholarship.

Now available for the first time from renowned author, teacher and scholar Meredith G. Kline is a brief never-before-published commentary, Genesis: A New Commentary. This posthumously published commentary on Genesis was written just after the late scholar finished his magnum opus, Kingdom Prologue, and distills his mature views on the book of Genesis and, indeed, on Scripture as a whole.Following an introduction that addresses the canonical function, literary-thematic framework, theological story, and authorship of Genesis, Kline separates the text into 10 structural divisions, offering insightful interpretation of each. The commentary has been edited by Kline\'s grandson Jonathan G. Kline and contains a foreword by Michael S. Horton. Genesis: A New Commentary will appeal to students, pastors, and laypeople who, like so many in the Reformed community, have admired or been transformed by Kline\'s teaching and writings.
