Mission in the Old Testament

Israel as a Light to the Nations

By: Walter C. Jr. Kaiser

Walter Kaiser questions the notion that the New Testament represents a deviation from God's supposed intention to save only the Israelites. He argues that--contrary to popular opinion--the older Testament does not reinforce an exclusive redemptive plan. Instead, it emphasizes a common human condition and God's original and continuing concern for all humanity. Kaiser shows that the Israelites' mission was always to actively spread to gentiles the Good News of the promised Messiah. This new edition adds two new chapters, freshens material throughout, expands the bibliography, and includes study questions.

The Promise-Plan of God

A Biblical Theology of the Old and New Testaments

By: Walter C. Kaiser, Jr.

What is the central theme of the Bible?Given the diversity of authorship, genre, and context of the Bible’s various books, is it evenpossible to answer such a question? Or in trying to do so, is an external grid being unnaturallysuperimposed on the biblical text?These are difficult questions that the discipline of biblical theology has struggled to answer.In this thoroughly revised and expanded edition of his classic Toward an Old Testament Theology,Walter Kaiser offers a solution to these unresolved issues. He proposes that there is indeeda unifying center to the theology and message of the Bible that is indicated and affirmed byScripture itself. That center is the promise of God. It is one all-encompassing promise of lifethrough the Messiah that winds itself throughout salvation history in both the Old and NewTestaments, giving cohesiveness and unity to the various parts of Scripture.After laying out his proposal, Kaiser works chronologically through the books of both testaments,demonstrating how the promise is seen throughout, how the various sub-themesof each book relate to the promise, and how God’s plan to fulfill the promise progressivelyunfolds. Here is a rich and illuminating biblical theology that will stir the emotion and theintellect.

The Nashville and Decatur in the Civil War

History of an Embattled Railroad

By: Walter R. Green, Jr.

The Nashville and Decatur Railroad was in operation five months before the start of the Civil War and 17 months before the Federals took control of Nashville and the railroad. Running through Central Tennessee to Alabama, the highly contested line passed through Confederate-held territory, where rebels and their sympathizers continually sabotaged bridges, trestles and track. This first full-length work on the N&D Railroad emphasizes its importance in the Western Theater and brings to light the four key men who kept it open for the duration of the war. Significant military activities in the region are described, along with the contraband camp, military complex and other features surrounding the railroad's only tunnel.

Nashville

The Occupied City, 1862-1863

By: Walter T. Durham

In 1862, Nashville became the first Southern state capital to be captured by the Union Army; that occupation would not end until after the Civil War's conclusion in 1865. In two incisive books, first published more than twenty years ago and available once more for a new generation of readers, Walter T. Durham traces occupied Nashville's reluctant transition from Rebel stronghold to partner of the Union. Together, Nashville and Reluctant Partners highlight the importance of local history within Civil War scholarship and assess the impact of the war on people other than combat soldiers and places other than battlefields. Nashville examines the first seventeen months of the Union occupation, showing how the local population coped with the sudden presence of an enemy force. It also explores the role of military governor Andrew Johnson and how he asserted his authority over the city. Reluctant Partners depicts a city coming to grips with the rapidly fading prospect of a Confederate victory and how, faced with this reality, its citizens began to cooperate with Johnson and the Union. Their reward was a booming economy and scant battle damage. With new prefaces discussing the two decades of scholarship that have emerged since these books' original appearance, these volumes offer an absorbing view of Union occupation at the most local of levels. Durham's volumes remain at the forefront of reconsidering the Civil War in the Upper South. Students and scholars of the Civil War-particularly in its social dimensions-as well as devotees of Tennessee history will find these new editions invaluable.

Josephus Conn Guild and Rose Mont

Politics and Plantation in Nineteenth Century Tennessee

By: Walter T. Durham

Josephus Conn Guild was a memorable Tennessee statesman of remarkable stature. Rose Mont, the Palladian and Greek Revival mansion he built in Gallatin in the 1840s, is his most visible legacy. But this attorney, soldier, judge, and thoroughbred enthusiast also left behind an intangible legacy as one of the most influential men of his time. In Josephus Conn Guild and Rose Mont: Politics and Plantation in Nineteenth Century Tennessee, Tennessee state historian Walter T. Durham has compiled a definitive history of Guild combining previously unpublished portions of Guild's own journals as well as new scholarship on the man, his family, and two of his passions: Rose Mont and his beloved horses. This new volume completes the record on Guild, providing a glimpse of his public and private lives. It includes many images of Rose Mont as well as portraits of Guild, his family, and his descendants. There is no doubt that Guild's contemporaries respected him as a man of integrity. With this book, Walter Durham has ensured that Guild's story will be preserved for future generations to know and appreciate his deep and lasting impact on the state of Tennessee. Book jacket.
