The Importance of Divine Designations in Old Testament Theology

Máire Byrne

Milltown Institute, Dublin, mbyrne{at}milltown-institute.ie

The divine designations in the Old Testament have long been a source of interest for Biblical scholars who have studied them as a means of understanding the Ancient Israelites' developing ideas of their God. A more systematic approach to the study of the designations through an acknowledgment of the complexity of the naming process in earthly and divine terms is outstanding. Taking Linguistics, the Philosophy of Language, and Tryggve Mettinger's research on `name theology,' this study of the designations (names, titles and epithets) as used in the biblical context allows the reader a deeper insight into the theology behind the text.

Key Words: designation • Linguistics • Mettinger • name • naming • Old Testament
