A Severe Mercy

A Severe Mercy Volume 1 provides a comprehensive biblical-theological examination of sin and its remedy within the Old Testament. Mark J Boda employs a canonical-thematic approach to analyze how these concepts are presented through the form and shape of the biblical text. This work of Bible criticism and interpretation builds upon the foundations laid by Brevard Childs while integrating modern methodologies to explore the imaginative space of the ancient canon.

The text focuses on the word views and literary shapes of individual passages and the collection as a whole. By identifying key subthemes and tracing their development, this study of Old Testament Bible theology offers a detailed analysis of biblical teaching on sin and atonement. A Severe Mercy Volume 1 serves as a rigorous academic resource for those studying the theological structures and dominant images found throughout the Old Testament.
