This new approach to biblical theology addresses the unity of the canon from an interdisciplinary perspective. The canon's unity is discussed as constituted both by an interpreted subjective unity "in front of" the text and by the subject matter "behind" the text. The volume includes Jewish and Christian contributions by scholars of the Hebrew Bible, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the New Testament, philosophy, and theology.
