Brevard Childs

From Wikipedia, the costless encyclopedia

Brevard Springs Childs (September 2, 1923 – June 23, 2007) was an American Old Testament scholar and Professor of Old Attestation at Yale University from 1958 until 1999 (and Sterling Professor subsequently 1992), who is considered one of the nearly influential biblical scholars of the 20th century.^[4]

Thought

Childs is particularly noted for pioneering canonical interpretation, a way of interpreting the Bible that focuses on the text of the biblical canon itself as a finished product. In fact, Childs disliked the term, believing his work to stand for an entirely new divergence, replacing the unabridged historical-critical method.^[5] Childs prepare out his approved arroyo in his Biblical Theology in Crisis (1970) and practical it in Introduction to the Old Testament equally Scripture (1979). This latter book has been described equally "ane of the virtually discussed books of the 1980s".^[6]

Childs' influences included Karl Barth^[three] and Hermann Gunkel.^[seven]

Christopher Seitz argues that

Professor Childs single-handedly effected major and sustained changes in the conceptual framework of mod biblical studies through appeal to the canonical presentation of biblical books and the theological implications of attending to their concluding form.^[8]

Seitz has too noted that "there is a small cottage industry in evaluating the contribution of Brevard Childs."^[9] For example, John Barton writes near Child's response to those who claimed that historical criticism "deliberately took abroad the Bible's religious claims in club to subject it to analysis". In Kid's approved approach, writes Barton, "the interpreter of the Bible should not confront the biblical text equally if it were a newly discovered document." To the contrary, as Barton reads Childs, "a properly theological reading of the Bible, past dissimilarity, would treat it only as it stands as a vehicle of a living organized religion."^[10]

Educational activity

Childs' formal education was interrupted during 1943-45 while he was serving in the United States Regular army during World War II. After being discharged, he continued his academic piece of work at the Academy of Michigan.^[eleven]

• B.A., M.A. - University of Michigan (1947)
• B.D. - Princeton Theological Seminary (1950)
• Th.D. - University of Basel (1955)

In addition to his earned degrees, Childs was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Theology by the University of Aberdeen in 1981 and by the University of Glasgow in 1992.^[one]

Life

In that location is no one hermeneutical key for unlocking the biblical message, just the canon provides the arena in which the struggle for agreement takes place.

Near of Childs' professional person life was spent in the United States, Germany and the United Kingdom. From 1958-1999, he was Professor of Old Testament at Yale University. In 2007, shortly after returning from his spring residence in the United Kingdom, Childs suffered a severe fall at his home in Connecticut from which he did not recover. He had continued writing and publishing until the stop.^[13]

Childs was survived by his married woman, Ann, and their children, Cathy and John.^[2]

Ellen Davis of Duke Divinity School studied under Childs and notes:

His scholarship was very fully integrated into his character, it would be very difficult to separate those 2. He was a Christian. His work was a course of discipleship.^[xiv]

In 1990, a Festschrift was published in his laurels. Canon, Theology, and Old Attestation Interpretation: Essays in Award of Brevard S. Childs included contributions from James Barr, John Van Seters, Ronald E. Clements, and James Luther Mays.

Works

In addition to the post-obit books, during the 1955–2006 flow, Childs wrote some eighty articles and reviews.^[xv]
