Lectures in Old Testament Theology
By Dennis F. Kinlaw, with John N. Oswalt
"Is there such a thing as an Old Testament theology? Or does the Old Testament simply reflect a number of competing theologies?…"
"In these lectures, first delivered in 1993, Dennis F. Kinlaw shows that there is indeed a single theology that rings through the pages of the Old Testament. That theology is centered in the unchanging nature of the transcendent Yahweh. Kinlaw does not slight the diversities of the text, but uses those diversities to underline the amazing consistency to be found in the treatment of Yahweh and in the understanding of the world arising from that perspective.
"Although it has been seventeen years since these lectures were first given, Kinlaw's penetrating grasp of, and love for, the text and its message makes the content as fresh as tomorrow. Anyone looking for a broad introduction to Old Testament theology will benefit from reading this book, but so will those who desire nothing more than to have their love for Yahweh rekindled."
-John N. Oswalt, from the Foreword
Praise for Lectures in Old Testmant Theology
"Lectures in Old Testament Theology is one of the most enjoyable Old Testament theologies I have ever read…Dr. Kinlaw stresses the unity of the theology of the Old Testament…His style is irenic in the whole spectrum of theology, yet with an engaging Wesleyan emphasis throughout. I heartily recommend this work to pastors, theology students, and engaged laity in the church worldwide."

"Dennis Kinlaw, from his thorough knowledge of the Hebrew Scriptures and its Ancient Near Eastern backgrounds, offers his mature reflections on Old Testament theology, which are personal, pastoral, and profound. We are indebted to John Oswalt for editing these lectures and making them available to a broader audience."
Edwin M. Yamauchi, Professor of History Emeritus
Miami University
"Dr. Kinlaw has the amazing and productive combination of a scholar's mind, a philosopher's analytic way of thinking, the passion of a pastor and evangelist, a profound historical knowledge of the Ancient Near Eastern world, and an engaging ability for anecdotal story-telling."
