Who is this Old Testament God
in My Christian Bible?
The ancient Greeks believed that God, a "perfect being," must be
impassible, incapable of experiencing suffering and pain. The ancient
Hebrews however knew a far different God, a personal God whose image and
likeness is reflected in our humanity.
In this series on Wednesday evenings from Oct 12, 2005 to Dec 7, 2005, we
explored how the God as described in the Old Testament is a God "who
suffers, . . . who has entered deeply into the human situation and made it
his own."
Our primary reference was
The Suffering of God. An Old Testament Perspective, Terence
E. Fretheim, Fortress Press, Philadelphia, 1984.
Dr. Terence
Fretheim
On December 7, 2005
Dr. Terence Fretheim (Elva B. Lovell Professor of
Old Testament at Luther Seminary) joined us to share his love for the
"Godly Old Testament" and his passion about God as "a God who weeps, who
gets angry, who rejoices ... a God who is in genuine interaction with the
world."
