This book suggests that Old Testament scholars should strengthen
their growing links with neighbouring academic disciplines and
encourage a number of interpretative interests within biblical
studies. Given such a pluralistic context, the author's contention
is that the 'canonical' approach to Old Testament study will have a
distinctive contribution to make to the discipline without
necessarily displacing other traditions of historical and literary
inquiry, as many scholars have assumed. Dr Brett offers a
comprehensive critique of the canonical approach as developed by
Brevard Childs, and examines the development of Childs's exegetical
practice, his hermeneutical theory, and the many critical responses
which his work has elicited. In responding to these criticisms, the
author examines the most problematic aspects of the canonical
approach (notably Childs's inadequate reply to those who emphasize
the ideological conflicts that lie behind biblical texts in their
final form) and seeks to reconstruct the approach in light of
contemporary discussions of interpretation in literary theory and
the social sciences.
