In this second part of a two-part article, the author wants to look at a variety of evangelical approaches (Walter Kaiser, John Goldingay, Dispensationalism, Theonomy, Jubilee Centre, etc.) to the question of the ethical authority of the Old Testament.

This article is a response to John Goldingay's article in the same journal on the topic of canon and Old Testament theology. Seitz asks critical questions with regard to the form of the canon, the function of creeds and the rule of faith, and finally about referring to the danger of an appeal to narrativity, which can easily reduce the Old Testament to a past story.
