AN EXCERPT FROM LECTURE 1 OF:
The God of the Old Testament: An Analysis of Wrath, Justice, Mercy and Love
Professor: Paul V. Niskanen, Ph.D.
In this course, the Theology of the Old Testament is explained within the context of Christian Theology. It begins by looking at some of the history and challenges of reading and understanding the Old Testament correctly as the Word of God in human words. Professor Niskanen highlights some key themes and passages from the Old Testament (such as Creation, the Sinai and Davidic Covenants, and Prophetic Imagery for God) to present a fuller picture of the God of the Old Testament, rather than the flat stereotypes and caricatures so frequently encountered in popular culture.
About the Professor:
Dr. Paul Niskanen received his Bachelor of Arts in French and Religious Studies from Seattle University, his S.T.B. from the Pontifical University Teresianum in Rome, and his Ph.D. in Biblical Studies from the Graduate Theological Union at Berkeley, California. He is currently an assistant professor of Theology for the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota. A few of Professor Niskanen's publications include, The Human and the Divine in History: Herodotus and the Book of Daniel, Yhwh as Father, and The Last Words of Jesus. He is also a professional member of the Catholic Biblical Association of America as well as the Society of Biblical Literature.
