<details><p>Brevard Childs ranged across the Christian Bible, writing on the Old and New

Testaments before attempting a Biblical Theology of the same. He combined critique of biblical scholarship with a constructive proposal related to canon. Driver gives a thorough account of his work’s international location. Following the original edition by Mohr Siebeck, this more affordable North American edition adds an appendix that gives English translations of the book’s numerous German quotations.
