A House For My Name by Peter J. Leithart

A Survey of the Old Testament

A theologically driven survey of the Old Testament that reads Israel’s story around the motif of God’s dwelling among his people: creation, covenant, law, kingship, the temple and priesthood, prophetic judgment, exile, and the hope of restoration. Emphasizing worship and the pursuit of a “house” for God’s name, it argues for the unity and coherence of the biblical narrative, offers close readings and historical context, and shows how Israel’s institutions and failures point toward the fulfillment of God’s intention to dwell with and rule over a faithful people.
