Abstract
This chapter describes each part of the Old Testament canon says on theology, anthropology, and soteriology. L. Kohler's method differs little from the method of standard Old Testament theologies of the 19th century. On the other hand, however, several scholars (notably Procksch, Eichrodt, and von Rad) show a basic dissatisfaction with a topical approach. In the chapter, several conclusions are given for Theology of the Old Testament today. First, the topical approach to Old Testament theology betrays an artificial scheme. Second, the kerygmatic emphasis of von Rad suggests that truth in the Old Testament is preeminently a process. Third, Eichrodt's approach (cf. also O. Procksch) suggests the possibility of a rich theological harvest with respect to the nature of truth in the Old Testament. In the intertestamental literature, the idea of truth maintains a link with the Old Testament in several ways.Keywords: Bible; early Christian literature; Eichrodt; Evangelium Veritatis; Justin Martyr; Old Testament
