Welcome to our blog! The contributors at Considering the Canon are dedicated to understanding the Compositional nature of both the Old and New Testaments. This blog will focus on issues pertaining to the canonical shape of both testaments and its impact on the theological interpretation of passages, books, and entire corpuses.

Our purpose is to appropriately read the book of the prophets and the apostles with the goal of proclaiming their over all message: Christ.

We hope that you will enjoy Considering the Canon with us.
