In 970 BC, Solomon ben David ascended his father's throne. During his reign, Israel became the envy of the nations. Unsurpassed in riches, power, and prestige, Solomon embodied the pinnacle of God's blessing on his people. In 586 BC, Israel's capital collapsed before Nebuchadnezzar, and the nation was exiled in disgrace far away to Babylon. This is the story of how to lose a kingdom in 400 years.

It's almost second nature for Christians to call God Father. Jesus taught his followers as much, although for them it was apparently a surprising practice. The worshiping community of the Old Testament used fatherly images for understanding God's character and actions, but "Father" was not a common way for believers to address God. In Knowing God the Father Through the Old Testament, Christopher Wright explores in depth the images that pervade the biblical narratives, psalms, and prophetic texts of the Old Testament.

We tend to think of the Holy Spirit as the straggler of the Trinity, a latecomer in God's interaction with the world. But our first introduction to the Holy Spirit is not the drama of Pentecost in the second chapter of Acts. We first meet the Holy Spirit in the second verse of the Bible, hovering there, speaking the world into existence. Christopher Wright begins here and traces the Holy Spirit through the pages of the Old Testament.

Nachdem Jesus den ganzen Tag bis in die Nacht hinein geheilt hatte, wollte er sich in die Stille und Einsamkeit der Wüste zurückziehen, um zu seinem Vater zu beten. Doch die ersehnte Ruhe blieb ihm verwehrt. Eine Gestalt nach der anderen löste sich aus den Schatten der Felsen, als wäre sie unmittelbar aus der Dunkelheit geboren.

Jesus zählte die Stunden nicht. Auch sah er nicht zurück, um zu überblicken, wie weit er bereits gekommen war. Beide Hände auf der Brust betete er zu seinem Vater, während seine Füße wie von alleine durch den Wüstensand gingen. Die Sonne zog über ihm ihren Bogen, ließ seinen Schatten von einer Seite zur anderen wandern. Doch noch ein weiterer Schatten kam hinzu. Der dunkelste von allen.

Vom ersten Tag an wollte Jaika die Wolken erreichen. Sie hatte sie sich weiß vorgestellt. Unendlich weich und strahlend. Jetzt war Jaika in den Wolken. Doch es war ganz anders als in ihrer Vorstellung. Graue Massen belagerten sie zu allen Seiten, die brummten und zischten wie hungrige Bestien.
