Opis

This new approach to biblical theology addresses the unity of the canon from an interdisciplinary perspective. The canon's unity is discussed as constituted both by an interpreted subjective unity "in front of" the text and by the subject matter "behind" the text. The volume includes Jewish and Christian contributions by scholars of the Hebrew Bible, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the New Testament, philosophy, and theology.

Proposes an understanding of canon that reaches beyond the text to the reality of tradition. This approach to biblical theology takes up major questions concerning the unity of the canon. The interdisciplinary approach in this book draws on scholarship in the Hebrew Bible, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the New Testament, philosophy, and theology.

Recenzje
