 | | The God of the Jewish Bible (which, together with the New Testament, is also the Christian Bible) a God at times infinitely tender, and at times so severe as to inspire fear is also the God of Jesus Christ and of the Apostles. |
 | | The awareness of God contained in the New Testament, which finds its summit in the Johannine definition that God is love (I John 4:16), does not contradict the past, but rather serves as a summary of all of salvation history, which initially had Israel as its central figure. |
