Re: The Biblical Story in 50 words

Anson recent post on The Biblical Story in 50 words is interesting. But I do have some reservations on some of the “what” doing “what” — e.g. I think almost half of the 50 words are devoted to describe events that can be found on the first 2 books of the OT is a mistake. And I definitely don’t think that (or only that) “Anger” was “crucified” on the cross….

Since I am having problem commenting on his site (Anson, please check), I want to point out here that Goldingay also made a similar list in his Old Testament Theology:

God Began (Creation)
God Start Over (From Eden to Babel)
God Promised (Israel’s Ancestors)
God Delivered (The Exodus)
God Sealed (Sinai)
God Gave (The Land)
God Accommodate (From Joshua to Solomon)
God Wrestled (From Solomon to the Exile)
God Preserved (Exile and Restoration)
God Sent (The Coming of Jesus)
