{"product_id":"holy-people-holy-land-michael-dauphinais-9781540969873","title":"Holy People, Holy Land: A Theological Introduction to the Bible","description":"How should we understand the Bible's many intricate themes across such a breadth of history and writings? This new edition of a successful textbook offers a unified theological vision of the Old and New Testaments. With up-to-date attention to biblical scholarship, the authors present the theological meaning of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGod shares his perfect love with his creatures in covenantal relationships. For such love to be realized, the people must love God fully with all their hearts and minds--become a \u003ci\u003eholy people\u003c\/i\u003e--and experience the indwelling presence of God--live in a \u003ci\u003eholy land\u003c\/i\u003e. The authors trace these twin themes through Abraham's promised descendants and land, Moses's law and tabernacle, David's kingship and temple, and ultimately the Son of God's incarnation and sending of his Holy Spirit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarked by focused presentations of central books of the Bible, this book shows how the themes of \u003ci\u003eholy people\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eholy land\u003c\/i\u003e hold together the biblical story. Attuned to creedal theology, it is accessible to the beginner and valuable to more advanced readers. The second edition has been updated throughout and includes a new foreword by Brant Pitre.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book gives readers the tools to better understand Scripture by showing God's consistent purpose, as revealed by Scripture, to re-create his children so they might dwell with him in a communion of holiness and love through Jesus Christ. It is of special interest to Catholic readers while speaking to all Christians.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Dauphinais,Matthew Levering\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1540969878\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781540969873\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Baker Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/18\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Michael Dauphinais","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48454259310847,"sku":"9781540969873","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_231be8d7-5a65-42ba-a2cc-59663996fecc.jpg?v=1777305143","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/holy-people-holy-land-michael-dauphinais-9781540969873","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
