Abstract

51 RESPONSE TO MATITIAHU TSEVAT "THEOLOGY OF THE OLD TESTAMENT - A JEWISH VIEW" by Bernhard W. Anderson A. A New Opportunity for Dialogue . It is a pleasure to respond to a paper by a Jewish colleague who boldly ventures out into an area which Christians too long have monopolized. Professor Tsevat is aware of the novelty of his venture; indeed, he admits that a presentation of "Old Testament Theology" from a Jewish point of view is almost unheard of - something like "the zoology of a uni- corn." Nevertheless, his paper, together with other prelimi- nary theological "stabs" by Jewish scholars, may well augur an exciting new day when Jewish and Christian colleagues stand together theologically on the common ground of the Hebrew Bible. Whether "Theology of the Old Testament" actually can be traced back to the Apostle Paul, as my colleague avers, is debatable. Paul did not have to face the question of the relation between two "testaments," in the sense of two bodies . of canonical literature; but he did have to face the problem, posed by apocalyptic theology, of the intersection of two ages, the old and the new, and along with this
