Goodly Fellowship Of The Prophets
$20.00Just below the surface of any Christian view of the Bible is the knotty issue of the biblical canon. How and when was it decided which books make up the Bible? What makes a book canonical? In this volume, respected Old Testament scholar Christopher Seitz helps readers understand how the Old Testament fits into the canon’s development. Brief and readable yet substantive, this volume challenges current understandings of the formation of the Christian canon, utilizing the latest research on the biblical prophets. Seitz reveals canonical connections woven into the fabric of the Prophetic Books and argues that the Law and the Prophets cohere and give shape to the subsequent Christian canon.

Prophecy And Hermeneutics
$30.00This volume by Christopher Seitz offers a contemporary look at the study of Isaiah and the twelve Minor Prophets. Seitz explores fundamental questions of hermeneutics, the canon, and the Prophets as a bridge between the Testaments.
In the first section, “The Overreach of History–Figuring the Prophets Out,” Seitz delivers an insightful account of the history of the genre, looking at the impact of modern critical methods and the influence of Gerhard von Rad. In particular, Seitz is concerned about unintended consequences of the tradition-historical approach, especially the separation of the Prophets from their canonical context. As an alternative, he makes the case for a “figural” reading that takes seriously the Prophets’ association with other portions of the canon while maintaining their individual integrity.
The second section, “Time in Association–Reading the Twelve,” offers three exegetical essays in which Seitz explores the themes and hermeneutical approach developed in the first half of the volume.
This work, the second in the Studies in Theological Interpretation series, introduces an original and fruitful approach to the study of the Prophets, one that takes seriously the questions of both exegesis and hermeneutics.

I Am The Lord Your God
$31.99I Am the Lord Your God explores anew the place of the Ten Commandments in contemporary civil society, their relation to natural moral law, their relevance for Christian instruction, and their pertinence to ethical issues such as abortion, killing, homosexuality, lying, greed, and the like.
Written by an outstanding group of ethicists, theologians, and Bible scholars from various church traditions – Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican, Lutheran, Methodist – this timely work argues unequivocally for the divine authority and permanent validity of the Ten Commandments in both church and society. While including the Judge Roy Moore controversy in Alabama and other pertinent current issues in their discussion, the authors above all call the church to remain faithful to its heritage – ultimately to the Lord God – amid our postmodern culture at large.

Word Without End
$39.99Word 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. 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.

Figured Out : Typology And Providence In Christian Scripture
$44.00How we read the Bible and what we “discover” there are inseparably linked. Scholarship’s focus on the historical setting has left the Bible “figured out.” By moving beyond modernity’s obsession with historical readings, Seitz seeks to recover a figural/typological approach to both Testaments-one that shapes a truly theological understanding of Scripture.
