Book Review: Christopher Seitz, “The Goodly Fellowship of the Prophets” (Baker Academic, 2009)

The book under review is:
Seitz, Christopher R. The Goodly Fellowship of the Prophets: The Achievement of Association in Canon Formation. Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Academic, 2009. 136 pp.
Dr. Christopher Seitz is Professor of Biblical Interpretation at Wycliffe College of the University of Toronto, in Toronto, Canada. For years he has been a leading scholar in areas of biblical hermeneutics and interpretation, especially in the prophetic literature of the Old Testament, and more particularly, the Book of Isaiah and the Twelve (or, Minor Prophets). He is also a leading figure in the more recent subject of canon, following on the heels of great scholars such as Brevard Childs and Rolf Rendtorff. This present book is no exception. It builds off of the research done in Prophecy and Hermeneutics (Baker Academic, 2007), helping the author better define and develop the “great achievement of association” in the formation of both the New and Old Testaments.
