| Summary: | The OT is often seen as transporting a violent and vengeful image of God. This article does not deny that such passages exist in the OT but argues that the dominant image of God is one of mercy and forgiveness. Starting from Ex 34:6-7 the author shows that this text illuminates a host of other OT passages. He concludes that mercy is the dominant characteristic of the image of God in the OT. |
