The writes were chosen for their proven abilities as biblical scholars and their experience as teachers and or preachers. Each has an outstanding record of publication demonstrating a keen sense for biblical interpretation and expository writing.

Exploring the Old Testament perspective, the book delves into the Creator God, creation, and humanity's place within it. It highlights the open-ended nature of creation and interconnections throughout the biblical narrative. Fretheim examines themes such as the dynamic created order, human sin, judgment, and environmental issues, while also addressing concepts of salvation, redemption, and the promise of a new creation, offering a comprehensive understanding of Israel's rich theological insights on these matters.

Earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, and hurricanes have plagued the history of the earth. What is God's role in natural disasters and the human suffering they cause? This is one of the most vexing questions in Christian life and theology. Terence Fretheim offers fresh readings of familiar Old Testament passages--such as creation, the flood, and the suffering of Job--to give readers biblical resources for working through this topic. He shows the God of the Bible to be a compassionate, suffering, relational God, one we can turn to in prayer in times of disaster.
