I am struck by how Fidelity to God is the the central issue for much of the Old Testament. Israel’s faithlessness is constantly the subject of the prophets’ speech. It would be an interesting project to build a “theology” of sorts around the concept of Fidelity. For example, within such a project, “repentance” would be “disavowing faithlessness, and returning to God.” Or perhaps, make the metaphor of marriage the central metaphor for a theology. I think that the subsequent re-orientation of the rest of the theological framework (salvation, eschatology, etc) would yield some interesting insights.
