In the estimation of many scholars, it is clear that Gerhard von Rad (1901-1971), long-time professor at the University of Heidelberg, is one of the defining and preeminent interpreters of the Old Testament in the twentieth century. His two volume Old Testament Theology, the most definitive publication in his long and prolific scholarly career, has altered the landscape of Old Testament studies and made his name a staple in the field. This new one volume edition of von Rad's magnum opus offers his monumental contribution to Old Testament studies at an affordable price. Von Rad's classic work demonstrates well how the insights of rigorous scholarship can find expression in and contribute to the life of the Church today. https://www.amazon.com/Testament-Theology-One-Unabridged-Hardcover/dp/156563652X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=5FVX6EXKTS9H&keywords=9781565636521&qid=1669834734&sprefix=9781565636521%2Caps%2C232&sr=8-1&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.006c50ae-5d4c-4777-9bc0-4513d670b6bc
