Everlasting Dominion: A Theology of the Old Testament
“For His dominion is an everlasting dominion, and His kingdom is from generation to generation.” –Daniel 4:34 (Holman CSB) Everlasting Dominion is the magnum opus of the greatly esteemed Dr. Eugene H. Merrill, a thoroughly researched theology of the Old Testament based on decades of study and teaching experience.
Taking a high view of Scripture as the inspired, authoritative Word of God, Merrill guides readers to a better understanding of the nature of Old Testament theology and employs a well-balanced method of laying bare the Scripture so that its profound, lifechanging truths can be better apprehended and applied.
Top Highlights
“Biblical theology, when practiced best at any rate, limits its source material to the Bible, refusing to let the Bible say more than it intends and, at the same time, not denying its voice wherever it has a message to speak.” (Page 2)
“To be a prophet, therefore, was to be an intercessor between God and men.” (Page 86)
“Old Testament theology is the study of biblical theology that employs the methods of that discipline to the Old Testament alone while being aware of the limitations inherent in not addressing the New Testament witness in any comprehensive way.” (Page 4)
“The major theological theme of the book of Judges is Israel's covenant disobedience and its repercussions.” (Page 421)
“Mankind may have been banished from the garden, but God had not been exiled from the world. He was still King, and he could still be approached but only at times and places of his own choosing.” (Pages 287–288)
