Don Collett, an experienced Old Testament scholar, offers an account of Old Testament interpretation that capitalizes on recent research in figural exegesis. Collett examines the tension between figural and literal modes of exegesis as they developed in Christian thought, introduces ongoing debates and discussions concerning figural readings of Scripture, and offers theological readings of several significant Old Testament passages. This book will work well as a primer on figural exegesis for seminarians or as a capstone seminary text that ties together themes from courses in Bible, exegesis, and theology.

Don C. Collett (PhD, University of St. Andrews) is associate professor of Old Testament and director of the MDiv program at Trinity School for Ministry in Ambridge, Pennsylvania. He is an expert on the Book of the Twelve and on issues relating to the biblical canon.
