What Is the Bible, for What Object Was It Written and How It Is to Be Read offers clear guidance on the Bible's purpose and how to read it for faith.

This book explains that the Bible is a record of God's dealings with his people, written to aid faith rather than to answer every question. It discusses how revelation works, the role of nature and conscience, and the distinction between Scripture, nature, and the Church. It also defends preaching as the living means by which truth reaches the world, with the Bible serving as a witness rather than a substitute for spiritual leadership.

Insights into why the Bible was written for a particular audience and how readers should approach it.
Discussion of the relationship between faith, reason, and divine revelation.
Arguments about the proper roles of Scripture, the Church, and preaching.
Thoughtful comparisons of the Bible with other religious ideas, kept within a clear, historic context.

Ideal for readers of religious history and biblical interpretation who want a grounded, thoughtful view of how to read the Bible today.
