The Goodly Fellowship of the Prophets (Acadia Studies in Bible and Theology)
Author: Christopher R. Seitz
Publisher: Baker Academic
ISBN: 1441211004
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
Just below the surface of any Christian view of the Bible is the knotty issue of the biblical canon. How and when was it decided which books would make up the Bible? What makes a book canonical? In this volume, respected Old Testament scholar Christopher Seitz helps readers understand how the Old Testament fits into the canon's development. Brief and readable yet substantive, this volume challenges current understandings of the formation of the Christian canon, utilizing the latest research on the biblical prophets. Seitz reveals canonical connections woven into the fabric of the Prophetic Books and argues that the Law and the Prophets cohere and give shape to the subsequent Christian canon.

Prophecy and Ethics
Author: Eryl W. Davies
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0567547442
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 185
Book Description
The study attempts to examine the role of tradition in the teaching of Isaiah with a view to discerning the basis of the ethics presupposed by the prophet. The view that Isaiah's ethical pronouncements were dependent upon the legal, covenantal and wisdom traditions of Israel is discussed, and the possibility of a direct dependence on the oracles of his contemporary, Amos, is examined. Davies shows that the whole question of the influence of tradition on the thought of Isaiah is fraught with problems.
