Word Without End Summary

Word Without End: The Old Testament as Abiding Theological Witness by Christopher R. Seitz

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.

Word Without End Reviews

(Seitz) urges a recover of nerve in the theological interpretation and shows us what that means. . . . A rare gift. - Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary
