On Seitz’s The Elder Testament: He Pitched a Winning Game but with Unforced Errors
Seitz’s new book is a “Summa” of his decades-long work of theological exegesis which shows the theological “pressure” that the Old Testament inherently exerts towards the Christian doctrine of the Trinity.

| Summary: | Seitz’s new book is a “Summa” of his decades-long work of theological exegesis which shows the theological “pressure” that the Old Testament inherently exerts towards the Christian doctrine of the Trinity. His focus is not just the “economic” Trinity—God in God’s historical works—but the “ontological Trinity”: God in God’s very self. His exegesis mines theological insights from the church fathers to the great Reformers, Luther and Calvin. An unfortunate weakness in the book is its copy editing and proofreading. |
