Full description for God in the Dock

  • Examining the dialogic structure of biblical psalms of lament, this book develops observations about voicing out of the work of Mikhail Bakhtin, utilized to re-evaluate the theological expression of lament psalms as well as components of Israel's rhetorical relationship with its deity. What emerges is a theology that gives voice to the tension that existed between faith in a god who practises flawless "hesed," or covenantal loyalty, and the experience of God's failure to uphold his side of the bargain.
