In this important work, Child’s thesis is that a canonical approach to the scriptures of the Old Testament opens up new possibilities for exploring the theological dimensions of the biblical text. Rather than seeking the sources, redactors, or communities “behind” the text at the expense of the text itself, the canonical approach seeks to understand the theological message of the Old Testament as a unified book through its canonical shape. After providing an introduction to the history and development of biblical theology, Childs presents major sections and themes in the Old Testament and the insights gained from viewing them in their canonical context.
