John Howard Yoder is most famous for arguing in The Politics of Jesus that a sound reading of the New Testament demonstrates the abiding relevance of Jesus to social ethics. However, it is seldom acknowledged that Yoder makes essentially the same argument with regard to the Old Testament. Throughout his extensive writings, Yoder offers a provocative interpretation of the Old Testament that culminates in the way of Jesus and establishes the ethical, ecclesiological, and historiographical continuity of the entire biblical canon. In The Politics of Yahweh, presented as a prequel to The Politics of Jesus, John C. Nugent makes Yoder's complete Old Testament interpretation accessible in one place for the first time. Nugent does not view Yoder's interpretation as flawless. Rather, Nugent moves beyond summary to offer honest critique and substantial revision. His constructive proposal, which stands in fundamental continuity with the work of Yoder, is likely to provoke thought from theologians, biblical scholars, and ethicists. Even at points where readers disagree with some of his and Yoder's interpretations, they will be challenged to explore new perspectives and rethink common assumptions concerning the diverse and often confusing issues that arise from sustained reflection on the Old Testament.

In The Politics of God, Hugh Schonfield builds upon his controversial best-seller The Passover Plot to reveal the vision which had been driving him most of his life. In searching for the common roots of Judaism and Christianity, he uncovers Jesus the Jew and the Messiah for all people.Calling on a wide range of thinkers as well as his extensive historical and biblical research, he exposes Jesus the Messiah as the founder not of a religion but of a nation set apart to the service of Mankind.This renowned historian seeks an answer to the difficulties in discovering a solution in today's religions as well as the disillusionment with state politic's inability to find an answer to peace in the world, Hugh Schonfield uncovers an ancient idea which he believes to be the only possible solution to Humankind's dilemma - the Politics of God.

Man's freedom--God's omnipotence: how can they be reconciled? That question is central to this penetrating study of political action and the prophetic function. Ellul's answer to that question, though based on events recorded in the Second Book of Kings, is immediately relevant to contemporary issues and to the church today. Emerging from these reflections is an eloquent testimony to the immense love of God--"which not only creates and saves, but which also in its incomprehensible humility wants to associate man with its work."
