Abstract
There is a thread that runs through the Bible: it is the study of God’s involvement in the realities of human beings and communities and the whole oikumene. It is a study of God’s intervention — not in the past only but in the present and with a promise for the future. The relationship is a dynamic one which God describes in the manner of self-disclosure. God is the great I AM; not a God of the past but also of the present and future whose self-disclosures are unending.
