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.
