Goldingay also serves in pastoral ministry as an associate pastor at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church, Pasadena. He holds membership in the Society of Biblical Literature and the Society for Old Testament Study, and serves on the Task Force on Biblical Interpretation in the Anglican Communion and the editorial board for the Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Studies.
"Every evangelical interested in biblical ethics will find
practical insights within its pages--as well as a challenge to
respond to some tough questions."--William D. Barrick, The Master's
Seminary Journal, Fall 2011
"In the third and final volume of his massive Old Testament
Theology John Goldingay turns to ethics and explores 'the life of
the children of God' (Barth). He shows how this is presented as
response to the gospel as Israel experienced it and as an
expression of their faith in Yhwh. Goldingay sees the ethics of the
Old Testament as a direct call to us today: the presentation is as
far from antiquarian as it could be. Christians and Jews alike will
need to ponder this challenging work."--John Barton, Oriel & Laing
Professor of the Interpretation of Holy Scripture, University of
Oxford
"I highly recommend this third volume, along with the other two, as
a rich contribution to the study of Old Testament theology and a
rich exposition of God's truths as relevant for the lives of His
people."--Roger D. Cotton, Encounter: Journal for Pentecostal
Ministry, Summer 2014, Vol. 11
"A fresh and rich type of biblical theology for all."--James
Chukwuman Okoye, The Bible in Review
"Going through this volume was like sitting in on lectures from a
well-informed, wise, and witty lover of the OT. . . . I enjoyed the
book, learned from it, and recommend it."--James Limburg,
Interpretation, October 2011
"Finally, Goldingay's OT ethics! In a highly readable fashion he
demonstrates masterfully that Israel's vision of life before God is
not irrelevant to modern existence. In fact, the communal shape of
Israel's faith, as well as its profound sense of individual
responsibility and freedom, cast our own society's peculiar
sicknesses into sharpest relief and point firmly in the direction
of a cure. This is first-rate, thrilling stuff--the appropriate
culmination of a glittering trilogy."--Stephen B. Chapman, Duke
University
"John Goldingay writes with magisterial knowledge of the biblical
texts and a keen eye for how to open them in fresh ways for
scholars, teachers, preachers and all serious readers. Drawing
deeply and widely on the scholarly literature--and also on
literature that most scholars would not think to consult--he
demonstrates with utter lucidity and conviction how the Hebrew
Scriptures present a vision of life in community that is still
sane, salvific and maybe even more essential for this generation of
faith than for our ancestors."--Dr. Ellen Davis, Amos Ragan Kearns
Professor of Bible and Practical Theology, Duke Divinity School
"The fruits of Goldingay's lifelong devotion to the study of the
Old Testament are visible on every page. This work is a sure and
steady guide that will lead the reader into the riches of Israel's
legacy and its God."--Gary Anderson, professor of Old
Testament/Hebrew Bible, University of Notre Dame
