Description
Christopher Seitz explores the convergence of two influential theological movements in his book Convergences. In the 1980s, Protestant Old Testament theologian Gerhard von Rad and Roman Catholic scholar Roland de Vaux both anticipated the need for a comprehensive Biblical Theology that integrated both Testaments. Seitz identifies key foreshadowing in the later work of von Rad and Martin Noth, as well as the contributions of lesser-known scholars like Paul Beauchamp. He reveals how these thinkers ultimately converged on common ground, particularly in their approaches to typology and biblical interpretation. This book delves into the emergence of lectionary conception, the ressourcement movement, and non-Catholic interest in the history of interpretation. Convergences sheds light on the connections between academic scholarship and ecclesiastical understandings of Scripture, particularly within Roman Catholic traditions since the mid-twentieth century.
