Synopsis

In the history of Old Testament research, only a few scholars have contributed exegetical commentaries (accompanied by monographs, chapters, and articles) on both of the Pentateuch's framing books. Professors Samuel Rolles Driver and Gerhard von Rad laid a foundation upon which Rev. Dr. Bill T. Arnold has built through his writings on Genesis and Deuteronomy. Professor Arnold also belongs to the lineage of renaissance men and women from past generations and has a profound knowledge of ancient Near Eastern history and religion, Hebrew syntax and lexicology, comparative Semitics, biblical hermeneutics, source and redaction criticism, and nuanced theological and ecclesial reflection. God of the Fathers honors his academic legacy by assembling the first known catalog of essays on conceptualizations of Israel's deity from both the opening and closing books of the Torah for the scholarly community. The title alludes to the appellative for Yhwh that extends from the Patriarchal History through Exodus 4, then disappears from usage, but reappears in Deuteronomy, prompting the essayists to discover and present fresh insights on the theological discourse of the ancient sources of these authoritative texts of the Hebrew scriptures.
