The volume will be a collection of essays by leading scholars on
the interpretation of the Old Testament on the topics of law and
ethics. The book is a Festschrift for Prof. Gordon Wenham. Its
chosen theme is intended to reflect his central interests in his
long career of writing on the Old Testament, in which he has
exemplified the highest standards of scholarship, but also written
for practitioners of biblical interpretation. The topic of 'reading
the law' has three aspects which will be treated by the various
contributions, namely: Reading the Pentateuch: Pentateuchal
criticism, narrative readings, rhetorical-critical readings;
Reading the Law: the law codes in historical and/or literary
context, anthropological readings, the law in relation to prophets,
wisdom, worship; Reading the Bible ethically: e.g. ethics of
marriage, war. Claudia Camp and Andrew Mein were formerly of
"Journal for the Study of the Old Testament Supplement", a book
series that features original and creative approaches to the
interpretation of Old Testament literature. "The Bible in the 21st
Century" series, a part of "JSOTS", seeks to examine contemporary
authoritative and cultural meanings of bibles by focusing on the
processes of transmission, readership and actualization of biblical
texts up to and including the twenty-first century. The series
explores issues related to contemporary culture and the place of
the bible and religion within it. Copenhagen International Seminar
is also part of "JSOTS."
Biblical theology attempts to explore the theological coherence of
the canonical witnesses; no serious Christian theology can overlook
this issue. The essays in the present volume illustrate the
complexity and richness of the conversation that results from
attentive consideration of the question. In a time when some voices
are calling for a moratorium on biblical theology or pronouncing
its concerns obsolete, this collection of meaty essays demonstrates
the continuing vitality and necessity of the enterprise. Richard B.
Hays, George Washington Ivey Professor of New Testament, The
Divinity School, Duke University, USAThis volume on biblical
theology jumps into the fray and poses the right kind of questions.
It does not offer a single way forward. Several of the essays are
quite fresh and provocative, breaking new ground (Bray, Reno);
others set out the issues with clarity and grace (Bartholomew);
others offer programmatic analysis (Webster; Bauckham); others
offer a fresh angle of view (Chapman, Martin). The success of this
series is in facing the challenge of disarray in biblical studies
head-on and then modeling a variety of approaches to stimulate our
reflection. Christopher Seitz, Professor of Old Testament and
Theological Studies, St. Andrews University, UK

An investigation of the literary structure and rhetorical challenge
that prompted the book's production. Moller argues that the book of
Amos captures and presents the debate between Amos and his
eighth-century audience. When read in the light of Israel's fall,
the presentation of Amos struggling (and failing) to convince his
contemporaries of the imminent divine punishment functions as a
powerful warning to subsequent Judaean readers.>
