The third and final volume of his Old Testament Theology, published by IVP Academic in 2009. After Israel's Gospel (the narrative) and Israel's Faith (what Israel believed), it treats the life the Old Testament commends, in relationship with God and in the life of the community, the ground of his later Old Testament Ethics (2019).
