I wrote my M.Div thesis on Childs and canonical interpretation for the church, and it has been so helpful in trying to teach the "big picture" of scripture, even (especially?) to teenagers, who are often stuck in verse-of-the-day, personal application kind of stuff.
This is a great point. I’ve often thought a biblical theology / canonical framework is not less relevant but more urgent as new media fragments our reading experiences (esp for students cutting their teeth on Bible study).
