Canon as Rule and Guide

Focusing on the integration of Old Testament studies with related disciplines, the collected essays reflect Brevard Childs' scholarly journey over fifty years. He emphasizes the concept of canon as both a guiding framework and a product of a complex editorial process that shapes scripture. Childs explores how this multifaceted canon influences the church's faith and practices, advocating for a holistic understanding of the Bible’s composition, reception, and its ongoing impact on faith communities.
