A complement to the author's 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, Balentine's 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 God's hiddenness and a world caught in despair. Balentine proposes that a fresh look at the Torah offers possibilities of counter-imagination and hope.
Samuel E. Balentine is Russell T. Cherry Professor of Old Testament Studies at the Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond. He received his D.Phil. from Oxford University, his M.Div. from the Southeastern Baptist Seminary, and his B.A. from Furman University.
