This book was written as an introduction to what is called the canonical approach of the Bible. The approach is known best by its advocate Brevard Childs. I have previously read the author’s earlier book titled A Brief History of Old Testament Criticism and have found that work extremely helpful. In this present book it is less a history of Old Testament Criticism as it is a short introduction to one method of biblical criticism: Canonical criticism. By criticism I don’t mean complaining or critiquing the Bible as it is a means of coming to understand the Bible rigorously.
