Old Testament Theology, he has now risen to the challenge
of a biblical theology. While taking the New Testament as a portal

of God. While many interpreters interrogate Scripture under the
harsh lights of late-modern questions, Goldingay engages in a
dialogue keen on letting Scripture speak to us in its own voice.
