The popular contrasting juxtaposition of the God of Wrath and Violence in the Old Testament, and the God of Love in the New Testament, is extensively investigated in this volume. 16 contributions investigate scientifically the texts in the Old Testament, from Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus to the Psalms, from the prophets to the Song of songs, and show how deeply the actions and emotions of God towards man and man's action against God and the fellow human beings are influenced by of ahavah = love. 4 New Testament papers (on the Sermon on the mount, the gospel of John, 1 Cor 13 and Hebr 12) reveal a deep structural analogy of Old Testament and New Testament, whose present relevance is shown in contributions about social work and preaching. The love of God is at the center of the theology of the Old Testament.
