To write an Introduction to the Hebrew Scriptures/Old Testament which will rely heavily on historical critical scholarship but which will focus main attention on addressing such theological questions as: how did the faith of the synagogue affect the shape of the final form of the Scriptures? How did the concept of a canon influence the nature of the literature? etc.
