About Christopher Seitz
Christopher Seitz, Senior Vice President at Openlane, has been active in biblical scholarship and theological lectures. In a 2021 lecture at Beeson Divinity School, Seitz discussed the book of Ecclesiastes, describing its central figure Koheleth as a "single brooding consciousness" and arguing that the book's joy refrains are not hedonistic but serve a sustained function across the text. He stated that the opening poem is "not about the futility of the created order" but rather bears witness to God's providential design, and he suggested translating the Hebrew word "hevel" as "ungraspable" rather than "vanity." In a 2020 webinar at Wycliffe College, Seitz addressed the future of Old Testament canonical interpretation, noting that "the final editors are as it were the first readers and the text carries forward on its own." He described the future of the field as "positive if diffuse in character." In a 2019 lecture, Seitz discussed the identity of Israel, emphasizing that "the Oracles of God entrusted to the Jews mark them out as distinctive bearers of His identity to the world" and that this identity is "permanently tied up with an encompassing all nations and peoples of creation." Earlier lectures from 2007, republished in 2012, explored the theological significance of the Old Testament's canonical order, with Seitz arguing that "the order of the books in the Bible is not merely historical but creates a nexus of interpretation."
