Word without End

The Old Testament as Abiding Theological Witness

By Seitz, Christopher R.

Rating

Format

Paperback, 368 pages

Published

United States, 1 January 2004

Word without End advocates a canonical approach to biblical interpretation, one that does not allow the New Testament to eclipse the interpretation of the Old Testament. In so doing, Seitz directly challenges the way in which the Old Testament is currently being read and taught in theological seminaries. By attending to "theology," "exegesis," and "practice" - the three divisions of the book - Seitz models a reading of the Old Testament as Scripture that lays out a theological foundation for the life of the church.

Christopher R. Seitz (Ph.D. Yale) is Professor of Old Testament and Theological Studies, University of Saint Andrews, Scotland. He is the author or editor of eight books including Figured Out: Typology, Providence and Christian Scripture (2001) and Nicene Christianity: The Future for a New Ecumenism (2001).
