abstract = "ForWalter Brueggemann, the postmodern situation offers a new perspective onbiblical interpretation that forges its way between the historical-criticalmethod and classical church theology. In his masterly Theology of the OldTestament, Testimony, Dispute, Advocacy (1997) Brueggemann present a newtrajectory for the discipline of the Old Testament which is based on a newepistemological and hermeneutical ground.However,Brueggemann{\textquoteright}s conclusion of a concept of God in the fray has been a challengefor the discipline. This thesis offers an analysis of his approach from thebackdrop of his concept of God and its relationship between the biblical textand Brueggemann{\textquoteright}s own epistemological and hermeneutical presuppositions aspresented in Theology of the OldTestament. Theargument in this thesis is that it is possible to conclude a theologicalcounter-testimony without a tension within YHWH. Instead of a concept of God intension this thesis suggests that Brueggemann{\textquoteright}s distinction of God above thefray and God in the fray could be labeled God above the fray and Israel in thefray.",
