The Way of the Lord
Essays in Old Testament Theology
The essays in this volume represent a theological interpretation especially focused on the
Decalogue and the Psalms. The essays on the Commandments lay out an understanding of
them as a kind of constitutional guideline for the life of the community of faith that is then
developed in many speci c and illustrative ways in the rest of Scripture – legislation, narrative,
prophetic oracle, psalm, and wisdom saying. The various treatments of the Psalms focus
especially on the way in which the Psalter is a book of theology as much as it is a collection of
hymns and prayers. The nal section of the book continues the theological reading of the Old
Testament with some speci c attention to the methodological issues as well as to aspects of the
character of God and the nature of the human.
