God of the Living is a profound volume, worthy of careful study.
-- Word & World
The straightforward title of this volume directly communicates what the subject matter is, but it cannot convey its extraordinary character. Feldmeier and Spieckermann, specialists in New and Old Testament respectively, together undertake an exploration of the nature and character of God that ranges across the canon. The result is no mere catalogue of texts and themes but a bold and often beautiful exposition of the God who lives and who brings life into being.
-- The Christian Century
Critically informed, exhaustive in treatment, integrative in conception, this volume makes a rare contribution: a scholarly presentation of images of God in both the OT and the NT.
-- Restoration Quarterly
[Feldmeier and Spieckermann] present a co-written volume on God from an Old Testament and a New Testament perspective - much to be applauded in these days of over-specialization. The weighty resulting volume is a strong statement of a largely traditional way of conceptualizing 'biblical theology': the presentation of [a consistent] picture of God across the canon.
-- Modern Believing
An impressive work…representing the greatest minds in Biblical Theology does more than present God as they leaf through the pages of the Bible but they also take the historical matters contained within the text and bring them to light for the reader.
-- The Reformed Register
[ God of the Living] will encourage teachers and students, in academy and church, to formulate a holistic biblical theology of their own, and will provide resources for doing so. Baylor University Press, and the translator Mark E. Biddle, are to be commended for making the book available in English almost immediately on publication of the German volume.

… a hefty, worthwhile contribution by two colleagues teaching Old and New Testament.
