Book Review: Theologies in the Old Testament

DOES THE O L D TESTAMENT HAVE A CENTER, an overarching theme or concept that binds together its diverse voices? Walther Eichrodt (1961) proposed "covenant" as such a central concept. Other candidates have been proposed: "elusive presence" (Terrien), the "name of God" (Zimmerli), or "election/obligation" (Preuss) among others. More recently, two German Old Testament scholars have offered "divine indwelling/Shekinah" ( Janowski) and "God's steadfast love" (Spieckermann) as possible unifying centers of Old Testament theology. Gerstenberger says "no" to all such attempts to find a central theme or concept.
