Categorical Imperative of the Day

The following deontological, teleological, situational and universal categorical imperative needs your urgent attention:

Instantly purchase John Goldingay's Old Testament Theology. Volume 1: Israel's Gospel and Old Testament Theology. Volume 2: Israel's Faith

OK, I'll shut up about these books.

Soon.

-ish.

Indeed so. Without these imperatives, how could we possibly know what to read? And without the mellisopalynological imperative, how would the bees know which flowers to pollinate? The answer, my friend... (bursts into song).

I wish I could, I'll have to look into it, I just took advantage on von Rad but see your point about it being older. I do need a good OT Theology. I also tried writing IVP but to no response - trying to convince them of the popularity of my blog would be funny! ( i have a measely 700 hit, mostly my own).

762 now... (I was averaging, HA!)

Yes, but does anyone know of a good Old Testament theology to recommend? I'm having trouble finding one - current, if possible.

Hey Phil,
I was rather impressed hearing teh word "mellisopalynological", and was even more impressed, having Googled it, to discover that it really exists! Kudos!

Michael,
For heaven's sake, man: GET GOLDINGAY. I will find out if you have been disobedient.
