It features essays that (1) investigate texts featuring the theme of life, (2) consider how interpreters might approach Scripture with the aim of contributing to the life of the world, and (3) explore ways in which biblical visions of flourishing might bear fruit in the world. As such, the chapters collectively illustrate how biblical scholarship might be a handmaiden to the aims of Scripture itself. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluding contributions by David Allen, Bernardo Cho, Joshua Coutts, Jen Gilbertson, Peter Head, Mariam Kamell Kovalishyn, Jesse Nickel, Iain Provan, Thomas Shepherd, Sven Soderlund, Loren Wilkinson, and N.
