Christopher Seitz on the Canonical Approach & Biblical Hermeneutics

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Christopher Seitz about his work in hermeneutics, the history of interpretation, and canon studies. In our conversation, we talk about his development of a canonical approach over the course of his career and some of the interesting changes in the fields of Old and New Testament studies. We also discuss the work of Brevard Childs and some of the convergences the canonical approach has in scholarly and ecclesial settings. His recent books along these lines are The Elder Testament: Canon, Theology, Trinity (Baylor), Convergences: Canon and Catholicity (Baylor), and Essays on Prophecy and Canon: The Rise of a New Model of Interpretation (Mohr Siebeck). 

 

Seitz has served as research professor at numerous institutions such as Yale University, University of St Andrews, and most recently at Wycliffe College.
